I've finally gotten around to "discovering" mobiunpack, and now I have a few questions.

1) on both Linux and Windows, the output .html file seems to have Apple/Mac style end-of-line characters. Can this be fixed easily? I'm not a python programmer by any means, but i did try changing things like "f = open(outsrc, 'wb')" to "f = open(outsrc, 'w')" without effect.

2) I'm guessing the .html file produced is not supposed to be valid HTML. e.g. it lacks a <!DOCTYPE..> header, and the <guide> section in the <head> shouldn't be there. The presence of the <mbp: pagebreak /> tags are trivial.

Anyhow, it's a great tool for seeing what is going on inside the mobipocket file! Thanks for your efforts, all of you, whoever you are!
