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'll copy/paste that and mess with it later.
DOS was no problem way back when, so this shouldn't be too strange either.

I think I'll skip the metadata stuff for now.
The file's title will be the ebook's title.
In the book is mention of me as the author.
Good 'nuff for now.
Thanks for the command line stuff and the TED link.
