WeaselWeb

[R.Marquez]

This may interest you if have a Palm Pilot, or if you are interested
in custom parsing html files.

Those of you with Palm Pilots may be familiar with Weasel reader
(http://sourceforge.net/projects/gutenpalm/). I really like this
reader because, besides being free software, it gives the best
compression that I have seen, and it allows for bookmarks to be
generated on the fly as it converts from txt format to its ztxt (pdb)
format.

The problem for me was that the converter did not know how to handle
html files. So I wrote a little Python program to do this and I
called it WeaselWeb. It is licensed as free software under the GPL.
If you are interested, get it from here (eventually it will be under
the main Weasel project page):

http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/gutenpalm/gutenpalm/

There is a nice self installing package for Windows. However, the
Linux version will need a little help since I do not yet have a usable
Linux machine. I would like to eventually creaet a standalone version
for Linux as well. (If some one would like to help with this, please
be my guest.)

Any way, I hope you enjoy it.

Just to let you know that there is now a light version of WeaselWeb.
It's called WeaselWebLt (it doesn't use IE). The self installing
package will fit in one floppy. It should probably be enough for most
users. (I think.) However, if you are on a Windows only Intranet, or
are otherwise having trouble accessing urls that you are normally able
to access using Internet Explorer, you may want to try the full
version of WeaselWeb.

Note: I have not tested this version much, so I rely on your feedback
to enhance it.

I hope you enjoy it.
