Hello all,

I have finally gotten all the parts in place to make Newton Press
convert a text file into a newton book without complaining - and I
noticed that due to the line breaks in the PG etexts, the formatting is
simply atrocious. Each PG line is about 1 3/4 line in the Newton Press
window.

I'm sure some people here have turned Project Gutenberg etexts into
newtonbooks before - is there an easy way to clean up the line breaks
without going through the entire file in a text editor? Anything that
runs on linux or mac system 7.5 will work for me :-)

   That's the problem with world domination. Nobody is willing to wait for 
   it anymore, work slowly towards it, drink more and enjoy the ride more.
