Hi Dean and List I want to suggest strongly that consideration be given to afulfledged unzip utility not only limited to bookshare files. On the bookshare site most of their non-copyright books in brf or txt format can be unzipped with the bn and it is actually mentioned on the site that any unzip utility could be used for that purpose. However, i needed to read books which were scanned in by someone and mailed to me as single zipped files, converted from ascii to save airtime costs on a dial-up connection. Despite renaming the zip extention to bks on detachment, it was unable to unpack and gave the error code 202.
The person also forwarded two brf books in zip format, (not bookshare downloads) of which i could unpack one, but not the other. I believe it is a definite need to be able to make use of a real unzip utility, especially in employment where research is of the essence. I donT know anything about other pda's, and how they handle zipped files, but this is important for people who are dependent on electronic reading material. Thanks and regards Riana
