Hi Keao, Well, ok, I assumed something here *slaps mouth*, which I should never do. You had mentioned having a PC, right? Where has my memory gone? So when I mentioned zipping the files, I assumed that you personally could accomplish this on the PC using winzip, winrar (making sure to choose the compress to zip option), ultimate zip, or some other compression program. I'm sorry if I was incorrect in assuming this. However, I can tell you how to unzip something once it has gotten to your bn.
>From the main menu, press b to enter keybook. Select the drive and folder >which your zipped file resides on. Next, press space with x (read with x), so that all, including hidden files are displayed. Find the zipped file, and press backspace with r (blank), which is the shortcut to rename a file. Give the file a new name, or keep the old one if you so desire, but make sure that instead of a .zip extension, you give the file a .bks extension. This extension is the one the bn recognizes as the extension for compressed bookshare files; in reality a .bks file and a .zip file are one in the same. This means that you are "tricking" the bn into thinking it is dealing with a .bks file. Next, find the newly renamed file, still in keybook, and press enter on it. Follow the simple extraction prompts, making sure you simply press enter when prompted for a password, since this document is not password protected. And then, if all goes well, voilá! You have yourself an extracted mp 3 file. Actually, I've never tried to decompress one on the bn. I shall go do that now and let you know if anything goes wrong. I know that I have been unsuccessful at unzipping pdf files on the bn, so this may be the case for all non-standard text or .brf files. Let's cross are fingers that it isn't, OK? *smirk* That would serve me right though, giving info on something that cannot be done. *sheepish grin* Then, obviously, you could not play an mp 3 file in keybook, so you would have to exit to the main menu and enter the media player by pressing m. Select the drive and folder, then the file, and press enter. I'll get back to you soon, and HTH, more than that, I hope this works! *smile* Laura >------ original message ------ >from: Keao Wright <[EMAIL PROTECTED] >Subject: re: [Braillenote] Attachments >Hello Lora. >How do I zip and unzip the files? >Aloha Keao
