First off, you should be aware this is unfinished, and
there's no guaranty that Gutenbrowser is particularly useful for any
particular use.
To start it-
You should be connected to the internet by now.
at command prompt type- gutenbrowser or click on the icon in the menu.
It'll first ask you to set up a few things.
You need to select a gutenberg ftp site, and then download the gutenberg
library index.
To download the newest gutenberg library index, or the newest ftp list, click
on the 'Download' button, or
Alt-D
To select a gutenberg etext to download- select 'Library' button, or Alt- L
To open local etexts- select 'Open' button, or Alt- O.
To move forward in the etext- 'Forward' button, or Alt- F, and Backwards- Alt-B
To save the current position and etext, 'setMark' button, or Alt-R.
To return to the bookmark- 'goto BookMark', or Alt-M
To change font- 'Font', or Alt- T.
The 'Print' button currently does not work.
The general idea of gutenbrowser is this:
The library at the gutenberg sites are known as the remote library.
The repository on your hard drive is the local library. First you need
to download a gutenberg ftp site list, and then you can download the library index.
From that you can choose any of the books, or etexts
from your library index. They will be downloaded and stored in your harddrive library.
