Hello Al, Karen, and all, Perhaps you could try renaming the book share file to a zip extension and then try unpacking it. I can open zip files on the BrailleNote when I rename them as bks files, so maybe the same will work in reverse.<smile> Try renaming the bks files as zip, it may still prompt you for a valid password however. Maybe it will work.<smile> Beth -----Original Message----- From: speakup-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:speakup-bounces at braille.uwo.ca] On Behalf Of Al Puzzuoli Sent: Friday, March 04, 2005 10:16 PM To: Speakup is a screen review system for Linux.
