I was hoping for something I wouldn't have to parse.  Or else something in 
XML so I could use an XML parser.

As above.

Okay.  No problem.

I have just been experimenting a little with an OCAL downloader (during my 
study breaks).

My first attempt earlier on, using the Mozilla framework, didn't work out 
as well as I hoped.  Now I am giving it another try.  This time I am 
experimenting with Mono/C#/Gtk#.  We'll see how that works out.
