Huh.  Well, I'll revisit this issue later.

Yes, that's what I was asking.  So how do windows users run convert-ly?

I was trying to rewrite the beginning chapters with GUB in mind, 
thinking that windows and OSX users didn't need to muck around on the 
command line any more, but perhaps they do.  I was hoping I could have 
a single set of instructions that would apply to everybody (well, two 
sets of instructions: one for beginners, and one for command-line 
users).
