It's using DOC=html, which just produces one mammoth book.html file instead of splitting it up into multiple files. That still doesn't explain why you are getting problems with the links though. Are you letting it fully download all of the page before clicking the link? If it hasn't downloaded all of the source, then it may not have the anchor tag for #USERPPP yet, in which case it won't find the anchor and won't seem to do anything when you click the link. > Can someone else try this?
