hI jAKE,  fOR A bRAILLE ONLY USER, BOOKS ARE MUCH EASIER TO READ IN THE BRF 
OR CONTRACTED VERSION COMMONLY KNOWN AS gRADE ii.  aND YES, i HAVE A COMPACT 
FLASH THAT I read on my Braille Lite m40.  First, on my old computer, I 
downloaded them and unpacked them using the bookshare.org unpack utility. 
So I am wondering why my new DSL computer will not open the book.

HTH,
Sue S.

Hi Sue,
    I've not got a quick and handy solution for you. What kind of program 
normally opens with BRF books?

I'm also a little curious.

I take it that you are downloading the BRF version to your computer and then 
using your Braille display to read it? If you're not using a notetaker, is 
there some advantage to doing this as aposed to downloading the DAISY format 
and opening it in Internet Explorer and having your Braille display 
translate as you read?

Thanks,
Jake

  Hi all,

  I am back with a new high speed computer.  It is DSL and does not want me 
to open brf files after I download them.  I can unpack them, but when I want 
to open the book it does not like that.  What shall I do?

  Grace, just in case you have tried to post to me about To Catch a Golden 
Ring, I do have msword and am still interested in validating it.

  Regards to all,

  Sue S.
