Eileen, Thanks for the offer, but the vendor of this ebook has put some sort of computer-specific protection on this ebook which prevents it from being used on other computers other than the one it was downloaded to. I tried using PDF to txt to convert this file, but it gave an error message saying "invalid password." I predict that TextPal will have the same problem, but I'll download a copy and give it a try.
