hey that would be nice.  I wanted to read the Milton Hershey Biography for a 
while, but it is Arc.

The vision must be followed by the venture. It is not enough to
stare up the steps - we must step up the stairs.

Ok, I've thought a bit more about this and here is another idea.  Anybody 
who scans a book in Openbook should convert it to .rtf before they upload 
it.  The process is simple.  Openbook has a launch feature which allows you 
to place the text you have scanned into a number of programs including MS 
Word.  From that point you could save the file as a .rtf file and submit it 
to Bookshare.  Thoughts?

  Hi Alison,
  Arc is the format used by Openbook, another OCR package that's a 
competitor to Kurzweil. Unfortunately if you don't have Openbook, you can't 
work on those files. It's a shame to because I would like to get my hands on 
that great big pile of language teaching and learning books that someone 
submitted.
