Neil,
Is it possible to transfer part of a daisy file, e.g. a
magazine or two off the compilation disk.
I am just about to subscribe to the women's newsstand, and
wondered if I could say transfer one magazine at a time.
Having not received one of these disks yet, I've no idea how
they are made up etc.
Thanks.

HI Andrew, Dawn & Steve -
First, to confirm what Andrew first reported on this list -
there is a problem in transferring, at least some, of the
TNAUK Daisy compilations to the BC - note these compilations
are intended for the Victor Daisy player and we have no
reports of problems using them on this device.
My feeling is that it is a file size problem - I was sent a
single compilation of the Economist (about 30MB) - that
loaded onto the BC with no problem, but the News and Current
Affairscompilation I tried (TNAUK number 603), which is over
700MB in size, results in the request noted by ANdrew to
enter a non-existant additional disk.
I'll talk to Heathfield on Monday to see where we go on
this.
Best,
Neil.

Hi,
Twice this morning I have tried to reply to e-mails on the

Is there a problem on the list.
