Hi, Penny, and welcome over here! Windows XP already has a built-in ZIP
utility, so you don't need anything for that, but Bookshare does have an
unpack tool that's used as a security measure, prompting you to enter your
password with each opened book. Then, it unpacks the book into a BRF file or
DAISY files, whichever you downloaded, so it unzips them. The books in the
public domain can be unzipped with any unzip utility, including that built
into XP. Take care.

Greetings.
I just joined the list, though I am not yet a member of bookshare.
I was 18 years a dos user with apple before that. So I'm a recent
user of windows--xp with window eyes.
One observation and one question:
I have noticed that the braille-note m-power gives me a little
different information than my pc does: windows xp with window-eyes 5.
I found that the pc gives me lots more to read; the m-power is a
little more truncated and brief.
Question: I was a fairly savvy dos user with zip files and such at
my command either in a utilities file or on the main drive. How do I
find a zip file now? Does xp have one or am I forced to find it elsewhere?
Where do I want it? Do I make a folder on the hard drive for my
upcoming down-loaded books from book share? And do I put the zip
utility in it? Or do I just magically invoke a unzip command,
leaving the zip utility where it is--or where it presumably is.
Remember, I'm rather a simple soul. My degree is not in computer
science. You might call me a true nerd.
Thanks in advance,
Penny
