For the specific issue he has, there is no need to resort to
the
work-around he uses.  The Baen Free Library offers Zipped
HTML
versions, which convert directly to Plucker with no
problems.  (I

issue
with.  Everything else converted in a few minutes a book.

I really don't understand why he is going through extra
trouble.
