Hi, I understand that the books have an encrypted password.<smile> I've been able to use zip by unpacking books by renaming them and entering my password when prompted. I'm sorry to cause confusion for anyone, but I thought since it worked for me that it might help others. I guess it's time for me to stay out of this then for now since what I suggested didn't work.<smile> Beth -----Original Message----- From: speakup-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:speakup-bounces at braille.uwo.ca] On Behalf Of Janina Sajka Sent: Thursday, July 21, 2005 6:20 AM To: Speakup is a screen review system for Linux. Subject: Re: bookshare.org unpack It's not a question of zip, gunzip, or any other particular archive format. The books are encrypted with your login password. Unzip, tar, and all those tools, won't handle that.
