Thanks to everyone who's responded on this. I'd been curious about those file extensions. I can see how loading a few files onto a card can easily multiply the stuff you can have on it, though text files or braille formatted files still don't take up that much room. ----- Original Message ----- From: "PAMELA RADER" <PRADER@xxxxxxx>

Hi:

These are files created by the Transfer program. The IX file has to do with navigation and the AA file has to do with holding your place in a file.

In the case of Book Share books, if it's a Daisy file, you would send the OPF file. Daisy files are made up of multiple files. Even though you're only sending one file, it gets the information from the other files that make up the book.

What is the purpose of the ix and aa file types on the hidden files?

Also, when transferring the .bp file from vookshare to the book port, how
can such a small file contain the entire book?

Thanks,
Nancy
