Another OLD pdf issue: capital U and V #60

When I search OLD item for "ultra" it stops at "Velinus" located on the same page as "uela", and prior to the page that ends with "uelo".

[edit again] Perseus.pm lines 628-629:

    $word =~ tr/vj/ui/;
    $word =~ tr /A-Z/a-z/;

converts lowercase v and j into lowercase u and i, respectively and then converts Uppercase letters into corresponding lowercase letters. I think this will convert Uppercase V or J into lowercase v and j, not u and i. [snip]

[edit again] Exchange of lines 628 and 629 and search-and-replacement of v into u in old-bookmarks.txt did the trick for me. There were only 6 occurrences of v and no j.

You are exactly correct in diagnosing the problem and providing the fix. This is implemented in commit 61a5c91858b17671c586eb0e411623dcb743b263. Thanks for fixing it! Apologies again for my slowness in responding.
