And that trick about saving in txt and then in rtf
helped me be able towork on Plum Bun.
I'm anxious to try my hand at Fountainhead, but it's
no longer on the download list. Does it need
validating or is it just a matter of downloading and
uploading again? Actually, maybe if I get it I'll
validate it.Maybe int he process of carefully
validating it I'll accidentaly eliminate some
character or other that is causing the problem. It may
be something strange that I can see but that one can't
hear.

Though that trick about saving the .rtf file again
in Word was very helpful
to me the other day. Good thing this list is here
and I pay attention.
I have had the download problem with large
books...one that is over
2000 pages...still no luck with that.
