iSilo format
A visitor named Chris was kind enough to point out that the latest books added to the site weren’t available as iSilo documents — it seems that format hasn’t worked since the move was made to the new Mac Mini server. Dang!
Well, the old iSilo386 program that created plain iSilo format was only available as a pre-compiled binary for x86 Linux, which rules out running it on the intel Mini — but there’s iSiloXC, a command-line converter! It’s the PowerPC version, but seems to work alright somehow, so iSilo format is back. This format allows the inclusion of images, so the covers are embedded at a maximum pixel width of 280px — let me know if you have any trouble with images that size!
On a side note, perhaps I should just call the format iSilo? When there were two iSilo formats available it made sense — one worked with older iSilo readers, and iSiloX worked with readers version 3 and up… but the older reader software probably isn’t in use anymore… so I guess I just change it to plain iSilo in a bit.
