Gutenberg Reader

[Pierre Sahores]

Peter,

Great stack to parse and save the Gutemberg's books without having to  
download them ! Congratulations and thanks for sharing it with all of  
us !

The Mac OS X standalone don't start there for yet but the stack is  
running OK in the Rev 3.0 IDE. (Mac OS X 10.5.6 / MacBook Pro Core Duo  
2 Go RAM).
The Win32 standalone start and run fine under VirtualBox 2.14 / Win XP  
Pro.

Again, thanks for this great piece of Rev !

Best Regards,
