Using terminal from within the browser lynx I downloaded a bard book. This is the name of the file:

DB-Fleming,

Note it ends in a comma.  That is the author's name preceeded by "db".

It is my understanding that before one moves the contents to a flash drive for use in the nls machine it must be uncompressed.

On a web page describing doing this in the mac gui it talks about "unzipping" the book first. I assume this is a generic reference because the file does not indicate it is a "zip" file. Renaming it with a zip extension doesn't help when I use unzip on it. The program says it is not a zip file.

I would like to perform all this in terminal if at all possible. What compression scheme is used and how can it be uncompressed?

Can the uncompression the mac gui uses be run from the command line? Can the open command be used with it somehow? What is the name of the program?

Thanks for any info or help,

Dan
