Hi Peter,
I just wanted to say that I downloaded the app & it won't start on OS X 10.4.11 PPC. It just seems to immediately quit. Let me know if there's
anything you want me to do to help diagnose the fault.

Hi Peter,

I am very interested in the Gutenberg texts, so I downloaded your
application and gave it a try. Unfortunately, I'm the impatient sort and never figured out how to display one of the texts within your application. So, my one bit of [hopefully constructive] criticism then is that you make it very easy to browse and search for available texts, such that one is immediately presented with a list and only has to click a title they are
interested in to jump right into reading it.

On Mac: downloaded, uncompressed, opened and ... nothing happens

Am I missing anything?

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.

Re: Bill Marriott's suggestion, I am reluctant to limit the user by presenting a pre-selected list of texts. I suppose I could build in an "example" button of some kind. I don't think there's any way of making the stack operation much simpler for those who are "impatient" but I'm open to suggestions. It's just a matter of clicking the "go Gutenberg" button, selecting a text, and clicking "import this page..."

I am puzzled by the standalone not starting up on a couple Macs. For Bernard it's on a PPC using 10.4.11, and for Pierre is on a Pro Core Duo using 10.5.6. Don't know what happening, but something goes awry in the standalone build process. I have had a couple of other standalones I built and shared with friends fail to open as well, with no apparent pattern. Shouldn't the standalone builder handle everything for whatever system/architecture/platform? I don't know the first thing about how to solve this. Any ideas, anyone, on what could be going wrong here?

Meliton, were you downloading the app or the stack?
