Well, I discovered the reason for the problems I was having with .opf =
files=20
and it might be something that others on the list could profit from. I =
was=20
downloading and unpacking the DAISY-format books from Bookshare using my =
PAC=20
Mate, then transferring the .opf files to my PC and then on to the BP. =
The=20
transfer from my PAC Mate to PC was done using ActiveSync and apparently,=
=20
even with file conversion turned completely off in ActiveSync, .opf =
files=20
get corrupted when they go this route. The same book's .opf file worked =
fine=20
when downloaded and unpacked directly on the PC, but failed 100% of the =
time=20
when ActiveSync was introduced into the picture. The moral, if any: =
don't=20
transfer .opf files using ActiveSync or they'll be corrupted and won't=20
transfer using the BP transfer software.
