I too do find the writing of this html file extremely slow, but it is a more complex process than just decompressing the text. It has to search/look-up the 'styles' used for each span of text and insert proper paragraph / new page breaks. There's even "special codes" spots that deal with images/tables/etc... Perhaps Michael can review same for better efficiencies and try to curb the exponential growth in time when compared to file size. ![]() Quote:

Is it possible that the IMP file is also encrypted? The convertIMP does not handle encrypted IMP files and would probably have a tough time with it. I can add the code to it if I had one of your IMP books to test with.

Westlyn,
I found the problem. The book is uncompressed. I have fixed the code and updated the attachments and the download link in the first post of this thread. Michael |

Help please?
I'm new here and have read the thread from the beginning. I have installed the executable as suggested by nrapallo in 11-26-2009. But when I try to open it, I get a box, "Application failed to initialize properly (OxcOOO135)" I'm running WinXP, SP2. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. TIA Susan

NO HTML EXTRACTION AVAILABLE
![]() A few titles in the library that I want are only in IMP format. So I tried this converter, but with mixed results. I "installed" IMP GUI Converter v 1.36 as instructed --- mscott161 stated that all that is required is the ConvertIMPGUI executable and the ICSharpCode.SharpZipLib DLL. I launched the GUI and loaded a book into it. I CAN get the text extraction, but the HTML tool on the menu is grayed out / disabled. The text extraction pulled out the text well enough, but apparently cannot deal with unicode characters. Lots of question marks/null glyphs for curly quotes, mdashes, diacritics, etc. I don't know if the HTML extraction would have better results, because it is disabled and not usable. Any suggestions how to get the HTML extraction working? ![]() Last edited by GrannyGrump; 11-06-2012 at 10:15 PM. |

Hi nrapallo, so glad to get your reply!
Sorry to be so late coming back. Just as background, all I did was download the zip file for the IMP GUI Converter, and extracted that entire folder to my drive, then drilled down to the Debug / bin folder and launched the executable. It runs, I just don't know if I need to do anything else to get the html extraction to work. One of the files I was trying was Zelda Pinwheel's "Jumping Frog" by Mark Twain, because I am doing that book in ePub, and wanted to see if she had restored the diacritics (I don't speak French). This is the link . I tried a couple of other IMP files as well, but can't remember titles just now. I also googled unsuccessfully for a reader app that will display IMP files on my computer. All I want to do is extract a reasonably clean text or html file that I can convert to ePub. Did I misunderstand what this tool does? I will give a try to the other extraction tool you linked to, and see how that goes. Thanks for the advice! |

![]() Anyway, I attach the various conversions using ConvertIMPGUI, Ebook-Tools, imp_dump and PrimoPDF/imp_viewer! Quote:
Oh, and the .html source (now attached as "frog-html.zip" below) used for Zelda's .imp version has been already converted to .epub and .pdf at Feedbooks.com here! Just use these instead of converting.... ![]() Enjoy! Last edited by nrapallo; 11-13-2012 at 09:43 PM. Reason: attached original source .html as retrieved by WayBackMachine at archive.org |

I am SO sorry for the belated response, I didn't see a notification of another reply.
Thank you so much for doing these conversions, and maybe you gave me a boost by the file name with v 1.3.6 A. I will be trying this out again with that version, and keeping my fingers crossed. And thank you for the FeedBooks link. I had downloaded books from there quite some time ago, and they all seemed to be in plain-text, a la Gutenberg. Who knew they have nicely formatted books... (would be nice if they gave a hint how the book looks) Thank you for the time and trouble, Santa better be generous with you for your good deeds. ![]() |

German Umlauts
Hello mscott161,
your greatful tool "Convert IMP" doesn't work with german umlauts! That's very sad for my german eBooks. I am a German - sorry for my bad english possibly. Would it be possible to make this possible? I find no way around german IMP files to use in Calibre. ![]() Calibre represents instead the German umlauts are any special characters. Sven |
