Perhaps others of you have already tried uploading
former txt files as rtf files. Not having seen
anything posted here, I'm here to tell you it works
very nicely.

I downloaded Dorothy Sayers' Lord Peter Wimsey mystery
Strong Poison in txt, validated it in Word, converted
to rtf, and successfully uploaded it as an rtf
document.

The Sir Peter of the book is quite different from the
PBS mysteries, as I remember them. He has a wry sense
of humor that makes one smile while reading.  Also,
there is a lot of what to us seems odd punctuation,
like a period after the word pub, it being an
abbreviation of publican, and periods instead of
commas in dates, as well as the usual English spelling
of words, and some unusual words and spellings of
words, e.g., kerb instead of curb, bistred (I found
out it means brownish-yellow); hugh for huge? (Pratik,
did the OED have it?
