Hey Gerald,
I believe Lissi said she downloaded the DAISY version already in the
collection.
WYN is a program developed by the LSG group of Freedom Scientific. I believe
its similar to the Kurzweil 3000, but I'm not sure.
HTH,
Jake

Lissi,
Don't download the Wyn book. It's a special format like Kes or Ark, and if
you don't know what it is, then you don't have the software to open it. I
tried looking up what it is and couldn't find it. The validation
instructions do say that you shouldn't download it unless you have the
software to open it.
HTH
Gerald

More on Nickel and Dimed,
I just downloaded and sampled the daisy/hotmail version of Nickel and Dimed
already in the collection listed as excellent. The busy Bookshare programs
probably missed a few things. If I were processing hundreds of books, I'm
sure I'd miss even more details.
The text is very strange. Throughout the book are numerous sets of two words
stuck together without spaces between. Also the text alternates random
length sections of short, double spaced lines with sections of long single
spaced lines with no indication I can find of paragraphs.. A rescan of this
book really is an excellent idea, but I still don't know if I can work with
that wyn extension. Going to experiment but would gladly hear from anyone
who already understands extensions.
Always With Love,

Dear Everyone,
While waiting to hear from someone about my wyn question, I searched Nickel and Dimed and found it in the collection with an excellent rating. I guess my next step is to download it and see if it's really excellent, because on the step one page it's listed as good, some errors.
Any explanations for this situation or suggestions would be appreciated.
Always With Love,
Lissi
