Thanks for the pointer to textify which makes it as simple as answering a few questions.

In Vista and perhaps in Windows7, it is best to install this in a separate document directory or drive if you have one. Since it works from the command line, it is easiest to have the text document you want to convert in the same directory as textify. This makes things kind of gummed up if you install it in Program Files.

If it is installed in Program Files, it does not store an output html document there, but under your document directory which can make it hard to find.

When I moved it to my document drive, it just created the html right there in the same directory as textify and as the original document.

The program worked well for me and I think I will be able to trust it a bit more than the gutenberg prettifier which seemed to create duplicate paragraphs from time to time.
