KoT on JOL (LSJ?)

Hi all - George just posted this on JOL: if anybody wants to speed up KoT, either get on lsj to get me the html version or write an awk script that will join 2 lines if the first line starts with Name: I don't know what an awk script is, but perhaps others do? LSJ, if you don't have George's e-mail, I can forward the file he is asking for... best - chris

[ quoted text not captured ] KoT has been in the html for some time now. http://www.white-wolf.com/vtes/HTML/cardlist.html
