Thanks! This was a marvelous link.
I haven't had the bookshare unpack tool on my computer for two years as I bought Kurzweil about the same time I upgraded from Windows 98 to XP and a new computer. My 98 machine crashed-and-burned with no survivors which finally forced the upgrade. I recently bought a Victor Reader Stream and was asked to see if bookshare books would play on the stream. So. With Daryl's help I unpacked a bookshare book, made a folder in my $dtb folder and copied the book there. The book reads just fine, but there seems to be no heading and other information in the book. Using the 4 and 6 keys jumps me either to the beginning or the end of the book. At that rate I might just as well unpack the book in Kurzweil and save and copy as a *.txt file.

Hello all,I've been sort of lax in keeping up with the bookshare happenings
but...I tried to download and unpack a book the other day, "old Possum's
book
of Practical Cats".  I downloaded the book, saved it in my eBooks folder and
then unpacked it.  I got the book with the extensions at the end of the
title,
cmx,  opt and sml.  I can't find anything that tells me what these file
extensions stand for nor can I get the book to play in Windows Media Player.
I dislike the Victor Reader software voice.  What can I do so as not to have
to listen to the book online?   I have considered disabling my wireless
capability to see if that would help.  I'd love some feedback.  Thanks to
you
all.
