Hi,

Going around the improved security requires a whole new program with modern web technologies available. So it took a bit longer.

The first Beta is available for testing, I'd love some feedback since I often don't have problems with their security systems but some of you are struggeling.

The Beta can be found here:
Please follow the "manual" on the beta page exactly

The tool itself is very basic at the moment, but it'll download stories and convert them to pdf and epub. A lot of the meta data of the story is still missing (genre, rating, status, ...) but that's simple to fix.

I first need to know if that approach works for all of you befor I spend the time with fine tuning.

Enough coding and struggeling today for me, see you tomorrow.

I haven't done much with Windows in a long time, but there's a utility program that came with my Mac and Linux systems called 'strings'. You pass it a filename, and it will display any printable strings in the file. If Windows has it, it may be easier than using a hex editor to find any commands or help in the program.

wheels

Does it do the OCR or just transfers from the scan to the word processor?

Now I'm curious. What's the program, and what does it do? I kmow there's a lot of early computer history archeologists on YouTube - likely one of tgem might have access to the information you need, and YouTube is only minimally indexed by Google.
