Donna:
In the case of DAISY 2.02 books, you only send ncc.html. In the case of =
3.0 books, you send the .opf file. One never sends the individual MP3 or =
other such files. This all becomes a little simpler in the next version, =
since you can send a digital talking book in three ways:
1. Insert the CD while Book Port Transfer is running.
2. Insert the CD, wait a few seconds, and connect the Book Port.
3. Browse to the CD with Book Port Transfer.
Number 3 is usually only necessary if you prefer to turn off the feature =
that lets digital talking books be sent at startup.

Am I right then that commands within a daisy2 book should work, ie. those
with lots of mp3 and smil files? I did not think these types of daisy =
books
were recognised. Would this mean that I would need to send the mp3 files
and the ncc.htm file via bookport transfer?
Sorry if I'm seeming unclear about this one, my reason for wanting
clarification is that I am trying to right a review of the Bookport and I
want to ensure I'm familiar with all the features when describing them.
Thanks for your help.
Donna.
