Hi, Sue. No, I don't think it depends on the equipment, because as I said in
another post, sometimes, I'll have a book where everything is still there,
and sometimes not, so I think that's why people get fed up with the
stripper. It's not predictable, and I think that's one of the most
irritating things. Take care.

Hi,
I have something interesting. I just finished readinng Critical Judgment by
Michael Palmer on my flashcard using Braille Lite m40. Oh yeah, and it was
the brf copy. Chapter headings and print page numbers were retained... The
chapter numbers were on the line with Chapter and were spelled out.. The
print page numbers were on a line by themselves. So I am wondering if, in
some cases, even the brf files depend on the equipment. I always download
books to my computer and then put them on the flash card..

Hi Kellie,
All I can comment on is my experience with my submissions that I have later
downloaded from Bookshare and read . Plus other submissions that I have
downloaded. Two examples of the first are Thieves Dozen and Cheapskate. I
downloaded them in Kurzweil, which chooses the Daisy format. Both retained
the chapter headings and page numbering.
There were no headings, since I had removed them.
About other people's submissions I've downloaded, using Kurzweil and more
recently, Bookport, the pages were numbered and there were no garbled
headers. Perhaps I have been lucky in choosing books that had all headers
stripped by the valadater, but I doubt it.
Maybe the book is run through the stripper a number of times to catch the
junk, I don't know. I do not doubt that others have problems with the
stripper, but so far I have not.
I will now return to scanning Motive For Murder, which I will submit in the
next several days.
I feel all of us on this list should be proud of what we have contributed
to a extremely worthy project.
