You may see duplicate e-mails on this.  I'm having trouble with using 
this remotely.....  Just ignore those you'll see tomorrow.

Steve,  did you see the messages regarding the conversion tool I had 
previously found?  By some "piper" company.  I tried the site today 
but didn't get any response.  When I get home, I'll check if I still 
have the conversion tool.

I used this to create a HTML version of Penny's Hermione FAQ.  This 
version had the footnotes converted rather well I thought.  Could you 
check this version--see the files section 
FAQ/HTMLified/undressed/Hermone_Granger-2.html--and see if this 
version can be incorporated into a formated version?  I can create 
these kinds of versions rather easily, but I only did the one as a 
test case and "proof of concept."

Okay...gotta go.  I think that's all I tried to say earlier.

Looks good, by the way.
