Hi D.

Since you are using an older Braille note--and it's been a while since I've 
used one--a trick we used to do with zipped files was to rename the .zip file 
as a .bks file, and they opened just fine. 

Now, I'm not sure what the bn will do with the password that is now required. I 
would also think you would want to download the Braille file instead of the 
daisy file, as daisy wasn't thought of when the bn was first put out.

Hope this helps.
Bob

  Thanks, I'll have a look.  If it was years ago, maybe it's in the NLS files.

    I read a book years ago about the Irish Potato Famine but I can't remember 
what it was.  It was fiction but of course was in that time and about how one 
family dealt with the Famine, I think.
    I just can't remember.

      Courtney,

      I have read no books about Michael Collins, I'm looking for anything so 
if 
      you can send suggestions my way, I'd be delighted.  I hope when you scan 
the 
      books, I can download them into my brailleNote but we'll see.

      I read Trinity a long time ago and wanted to read that again so I'll be 
      looking for that too.

      Thanks.

      -Diane
