anyway, I see your software also does dilation. (I think you were the guy who asked me how to program all that... glad i could help.) Does it do a simple dilate and shrink, or does it do the unsharp filter too (ie, the full pdfrasterfarian treatment)?

Well, I just do a dilate and shrink -- in my experience the unsharp filter provided negligible benefit, so I removed it (I think you mentioned that too).

If so, why don't we just add any features that might still be unique to pdfrasterfarian 2, test it fully with sony reader, and call it pdfrasterfarian 3? (I dunno, I really hate the linux practice of instead of releasing versions of utilities with more features, improvements, etc, they just release a whole separate program whenever a new author with new ideas joins. It results in needless confusion, creates barriers for adoption, and stalls progress.

Well, it's more of a complete rewrite than a simple port -- I've taken different approaches in a lot of places, and a different set of tools is used. I started off with a version specific for my 1100 (which was nothing like PDFRasterFarian), made it generic enough so now that it has almost all the functionality and a lot of other features -- it wasn't just another case of the Not-Invented-Here syndrome in action.
But yes, it does make sense to simply call it PDFRasterFarian 3 instead of a new name. Can you take a look at the current version and see if there is something I have missed/can add?
