Ted web page

you can download the Linux binary here.
ftp://ftp.nluug.nl/pub/editors/ted/T...ux_ix86.tar.gz
I am afraid you will need a little bit of "Commandline Kung-Fu" to make it run.
Download the package and put it somewhere, for example into
/tmp/tedinstall
then download installation script
ftp://ftp.nluug.nl/pub/editors/ted/installTed.sh
put it into
/tmp/tedinstall
and run command
cd /tmp/tedinstall
sh /tmp/tedinstall/InstallTed.sh
as root
this should install the program.
If this does not work use source
ftp://ftp.nluug.nl/pub/editors/ted/ted-2.17.src.tar.gz
You can unpack the src using point and click interface.
Then start Terminal, or Konsole, log in as root,
start midnight commander by typing
mc
then navigate to the directory where you unpacked the sources and type
make install
That should do it.
I personally use PC-BSD which is a kind of "distribution" of FreeBSD so I always install Ted using ports.

Metadata? Whuzzat? Explain?

Please use notepad to inspect following two examples.
Please note that creatim and revtim are necessary. Without those two metadata Sony Reader will not be able to "see" Author or Title metadata. That fact cost me several days of frustration ;-)
When you load example_without.rtf to a Sony reader or a Sony Library software (**) there is no Author listed and the title of the book is the name of the file.
When you load example_with.rtf to a reader of Sony Library Software (formely Connect) you get the correct title - different one than the name of file is - and an author - Kacir.
(**)
you can download the software for preview of your files here

This SW displays your book EXACTLY like the Sony Reader would.
