Hello Grace and List,
I'm surprised nobody can get the book uploaded as a zipped file. I've zipped
and uploaded an 800-page science text with no problems, and it was an rtf file.
The title was Evolutionary Analysis -- don't remember the authors right
offhand. I wonder if the problem is hidden graphics like pictures that add to
the file size?

Hi Gerald:
If you would ask the staff about this I would appreciate it. The book is 615
pageslong and the file size is 1900KB, unzipped. But as I said I can't upload
it zipped either.

I need to call Bookshare to check on a few things for the list anyway, so
I'll bring this issue up again.
Cindy, I doubt it has anything to do with the upgrade that took place this
week because this is a problem that has been going on for some time. It's
likely that this problem has existed since the beginning and that we don't see
it very often because there are not that many 1000 plus page books.

Hi folks:
I also have tried to upload this book without success. In the 4 years of
validating I have never been unable to upload a book.
There's no punctuation in the file name, and I've even shortened the file
name.
As Ernie said, it gets up to 99 percent and hangs. When I zip the file it
gets up to 38 percent and it hangs. I saved the file as txt and then back to
rtf hoping it would get rid of any strange formatting, but no luck. I've tried
to upload it on 3 separate occasions.
I have broad bend connection.
I am stumped. Any suggestions, comments would be appreciated.
