Hi Everyone,
I know about web braille, but what is CNIB? And do you know of other places
from which to download books, whether txt, braille, etc? I know of book share
and have used audible.com files. Just wondering if anyone has any other
suggestions.
Thanks,

You can combine 2 files easily on the command line.
Go to the command prompt and type
Type file1 >> file2
Works nicely.

I've been consolidating volumes of Braille from Web Braille into single units for a long time. The method I use is a bit tedious, and there may be better means of accomplishing this, and I'd like to hear about them.
Here's what I do. Assuming that you have a two-volume book, I open the second volume using NotePad, edit out the title page and other extraneous stuff, then copy the remaining data to the clipboard. Finally, I open the book's first volume, go to the end of that file, and paste in the material from the clipboard. I've never found a faster way of doing it, but it works and actually doesn't take more than a minute or so per volume. I just performed this action on Gone With the Wind and Theodore Dreiser's An American Tragedy yesterday, both of which are quite large. For the two books it took about twenty minutes, but there were more than twenty volumes involved all told.

hi list,
I am quite new to the bookport and am wondering if there is a way of making multiple files into one. (I mean, I download e-braille books from the CNIB, and they are mostly 6 or more files that you must download). Is it still possible to go by page, word, etc etc, even if there are multiple files? Iether then that I am thoughrely enjoying the unit. It is small, portable, and able to go anywhere with you weather it be in your pocket or just in the palm of your hand. Not to mension, I love to read.
best regards,
- Tyler
