Cindy,

Yes.  Someone still has to have Either Kurzweil or OpenBook to convert.  Let's 
get someone at Bookshare to weigh in before we start utilizing the new feature 
for this purpose.  If the answer is yes, I'll spend a few hours this weekend 
converting all kesi files.  I'm not sure wehther I can be persuaded to dust-off 
my 7.02 version copy of Openbook and install it.

I assume one would have to have ark or kes to do that,
though, right?
