# To make use of this script, you have to go to the Cornell site
# http://library5.library.cornell.edu/ with some graphical browser
# and find the id-string of your chosen book. It looks like math/05090001
# or something. It's the part enclosed between ``library.'' and ``?part''.
# Then you make a directory where you want the book to be downloaded
# and run this script with the id-string and from-to number of pages
# you want to download. Don't forget the obvious chmod +x first!
#
# If there are problems, please let me know at hanke@volny.cz.
# If you find a way how to use wget with this script, PLEASE let me know.

# Please use freely (as in freedom) as you want, no copyright.
