Chapter or TOC Creation help needed

I have a few books that have been scanned and while not very big they are in a RTF or TEXT format. I need to set up chapters (to enable faster loading with Stanza) but as the file is a text file there are no H2 or Class headers and when converted to Epub chapter 1 is the entire text.

Setting Force Autogenerated TOC doesnt seem to create any TOC for me. Just one large chapter. When I use Calibre built in viewer I am unable to see a TOC. Clicking the button for TOC has no effect.

All I have in the file is
at the begining of the file

Prelude

Book 1: Halfway
Chapter 1 Tower
Chapter 2 Help


Then further on

Prelude
Some text

Book 1: Halfway

Chapter 1 Tower
text here

Chapter 2 Help
more text



Im guessing that this is a problem with scanned texts but was hoping some one could help me to get it working, simply. Even if Calibre could just break the text file in to x amount of blocks for chapters Ie if file is 700kb then 70kb blocks or something. , but was hoping that calibe or something else would detect buy text match or something.
