Great, DJ!!! I had started trying to understanding and writing scripts for this, last week, but hardware problems made it impossible. It seems that today will be able to get back to almost "normal" computer status. Agree with Bruce, if I may give an opinion, although lasts a doubt if they need to be uploaded to Anduin (please, see below). Again if I may give an opinion, leaving as much as possible to be easily upgradable in the page is better, as a user (e.g., myself) could easily upgrade her/his system, if for any reason the upgrade in the book is delayed. About the "decimal" names you are referring to, had already reached that point, their downloads were successfull in my script, what is not much... then stopped due to the referred hardware problems. It is a very very difficult build for someone in my level, and I am not sure if I would succeed. Last, but not least, in LibreOffice, we have similar "decimal" named files, which I believe are not in Anduin.
