The Gutenberg Project gives great access to many classic texts with which you may
do what you
please.
However, if you have downloaded one of these texts and tried to print it using your
favourite word
processor you would not be pleased with the outcome. All the paragraphs are fixed in their width
and you have to delete the unwanted carriage returns - and there could be hundreds
The Gutenberg Reader (Gutread) is a small utility to break the back of this formatting
effort. It
performs the following useful functions:
- Removes the extra carriage returns
from all paragraphs
- Removes the notice at the beginning
of the file
There is also the option to produce the text in XML format for future processing.
