In fairness to him, Wolfie, he did write this quite a few years back. I found a few of his suggestions to not pan out, and from the comments on his blog, I wasn't the only one. Nonetheless, he holds "guru" status. As you noted: Gaughran links to him. Think someone like that links to ME? Sh**, no. (To continue my theme of fairness, it's true that I don't post A-->Zed "how to" blogs, either.)

I would not say 180 degrees of wrong. I would say 360 degrees of wrong. The tech guy has no idea about making eBooks. He should have passed on the message to someone who does to get the correct answer.[/QUOTE]

No, sweetie, I meant that the advice was precisely inverted. The books could derive an NCX from the toc.html...but not the other way around. It's patent that Amazon's figured out how to inveigle an NCX from a well-formed toc.html quite some time back; but the other direction--unlike Sigil--seems to still not exist. {sigh}.
