however, you can't affect the file on the stream, just read it.

  Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Great News For Stream Users


  Humanware has just announce that the new version of the Victor Stream will 
support rtf and brf files. This is great news for those of us who like to 
validate without being chained to a desk. This makes volunteering easier and 
more portable. Braille users will benefit because they no longer have to get 
the daisy version of Bookshare titles to read them on the Stream. Now the 
Stream has become worth investing in from my point of view. I had clung to my 
Book Port because of its rtf and brf support. The Stream has now surpassed the 
old Book Port because it can handle both NLS books as well as fully supporting 
everything volunteers do with Bookshare. For those of you are already using the 
Stream, you should be able to get the update next week. Happy reading everyone.
