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. Julie Morales Life is a gift from God.

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.
