I just downloaded libprs500 (Windows version) from the Microsoft site and installed it. I run the program and nothing happens. It shows up in memory but I see nothing on my screen. No GUI, no messages, no errors, NOTHING.
Ideas? |

The software for doing book conversions are all command line based. You'll need to open a command line to use them. |

I am mistaken, I did not download it from Microsoft, I download the windows version from the link that was provided in the first post of this thread.
There was a command line link as well as a GUI windows version. They even had screen shots and a feature list. That is what I am having problems with. It does not work. |

You need to use the command line. Read back on all the threads dealing with the conversion utilities. They are all stickies. All the info is in them someplace. |

Going to add this to the bug tracker, but converted a multi-file LIT (that decompiles into several html files) to LRF that had a cover. Now, the LRF shows the cover between every chapter, or between every html file that made up the original LIT. So instead of this:
Cover html 1 html 2 html ... html n it does this: Cover html 1 Cover html 2 Cover html ... Cover html n Just thought I'd mention it here in case there was something I was missing. I'll add it to the bug tracker if you want me to. It could be that this is an issue with html2lrf instead of lit2lrf... |

Not a problem. You're probably going to have to wait a while as I'm in the middle of a major refactor and svn is a mess.

First of all - great utility! Thanks so much! It made it really easy to convert my Baen .lit files so I can read them on my Sony Reader.
Two questions: when I add a header to the file, I don't seem to be able to change the top margin at all. Ideally I'd like more space between the header and the start of the body text. Am I missing something in the command-line parameters or is this not possible in the current version? Second, out of almost 200 .lit files from Baen, only one of them refuses to convert. I can live without it, but would it be helpful for you to have a copy of that file? Again - thanks so much for making this utility. It really has allow me to get up to speed very quickly with my new Reader. |
