I was worked this day to port any2imp to vb express because the lack of good com support from autoit and also jscript has some limitations (especially the lack of byref support of com's callings).
In vb everything is working very well, the code is very similar to autoit so the porting was not a big problem.
That was in the middle of may.
Does it still have a nice GUI? Do any vb calls to the new .epub/OCF related functions/methods work for you?

From some long weeks now, I'm working to implement in the new any2imp a wysiwyg html editor to make last minute changes to the source file(s) before the imp generation.
Will it support RegEx? I like using Perl-like RegEX substitutions to fix things "en masse".

So if you have some ideas/demands for/from this future editor please share your opinion with me.
What I want specifically from this editor:
- access to the header style made by SBPubX for changing the global layout of the ebook
- make changes like bold, italic, ... in text
- make changes for justifying text (left, right, justify, center) for paragraphs
- insert anchors, make (manually) tocs
- insert running headers, footers
- code cleaning
- render the html file with ebookwise like ttf fonts
I hope this is interesting enough.
See this eBook Publisher tips/hints thread and our EBook Publisher wiki.

I'm also thinking about not using the publisher's internal document converter but use this html2rtf converter

Waiting for your opinions.
I agree that the internal ETI rtf converter is not the best, but it's "free" and comes with the COM support. Why not just fix what you don't like about it's output (using RegEx); just my take on this. But if you can get the RtfConverter to work then kudos to you!
