Hi, Cheryl. You could have remedied that. You could have renamed the file, just
changing the file extension, and when the warning comes up about the file might
be unusable if you change the extension, tell it to change it, anyway, and you
could have changed it to a .brf file and uploaded it. That does work. I've done
it. Take care.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] kurzweil file weirdness .brl versus .brf
Hi everyone.
This evening I encountered some weirdness with braille files on the step 1
page. Some books were listed as .brf extention, but once unzipped, they turned
out to be the .brl files which is another kind of braille file. I opened the
file using Kurzweil and checked it for completeness. When I tried to upload
the book, bookshare wouldn't take it because the .brl extention didn't match
the .brf extention it was expecting. I rejected the book and wrote the
submitter. Still, I wanted to caution anyone not to submit .brl files because
bookshare won't let you upload them in any other form than .brf. the .brl and
.brf extentions aren't compatible. It's like trying to use kurzweil to open
.ark files. You can't even translate the .brl file to print and upload a .rtf
file because bookshare wants .brf extentions only for braille files. Ok, I
promise my next post won't be so technical *smile*.
