Lots to try a bit later ... when I've lost daylight. Question: The purpose of this exercise is to create an epub and/or other ebook format. Each file is a chapter in a book of seven chapters. Is there a program I can just point at the folder & which will can handle that, or do I in any case have...

Bus, device, function 10,0,3
