A set of tools for creating Doc e-texts on Unix (and possibly other) systems.

Pyrite Publisher requires the Python language, version 1.5.2 or newer; it is developed on Linux but may work elsewhere.
Update Description:Release 2.0 (12/25/2001):Adds many new features, including regular expression bookmarking, direct one-step conversion between Doc and zTXT, re-processing of Doc/zTXT files (eg. convert Iambic or Mobipocket HTML documents back to text), full configurability, and more...
Release 1.99.3 (12/19/2001):Adds support for the zTXT format (a non-proprietary high-compression etext format used by the free Gutenpalm reader), including annotations and stored preferences.
Release 1.99.1, (6/01/2001):A bug fix release.
This release (1.99.0):Begins a series of preview/test releases leading to version 2.0. Pyrite Publisher has most of the features of its predecessor (Doc Toolkit) but has been redesigned with a new core architecture. One important change is that this version requires no added software other than a Python interpreter. (It will probably even run on Windows, although it hasn't been tested there yet.)
