Jake,
Thanks. I know it's special software for scanning books, but I couldn't
remember who made it. I did notice that Lissi said she'd downloaded the
DAISY version, but she indicated that she was going to download the WYN book
next to see if she could read it, and my point was to not bother since if
she doesn't know what it is, then she can't access the book.
Thanks again.
Gerald

Hey Gerald,
I believe Lissi said she downloaded the DAISY version already in the
collection.
WYN is a program developed by the LSG group of Freedom Scientific. I believe
its similar to the Kurzweil 3000, but I'm not sure.
HTH,
Jake
