Dear Everyone,
I should have gotten it by now, but after not getting the excellent scan of
Echoes approved after I validated it, I've been putting off attempting to
upload the well scanned, very nice story of a cat in medieval times, for a
week. The scan should be pleasant to read, but I'm afraid I'll do something
wrong and it will drift about, who knows where, instead of being added to the
collection. I thought the file should be named with a dot rtf before I began
the uploading process.
I Tried to copy the dot zip file I worked with to an RTF file. Every RTF book I
download appears changed to dot zip and I don't know how to stop that from
happening.
When I open the RTF file I made, Jaws says something like, "File conversion
Julian_s.rtf dialogue list box Western European(windows
Jaws is on Western European) I get western European with .dos and ..iso and
.mac and us-askee and Viet namese.something by arrowing up in that field.
If I upload that I'm afraid book share will just get pages and pages of stuff
not even written with the alphabet. I thought RTF meant a nice, easy to read
and work with text. How did I make this awful stuff appear?
Also, as I tab through this box trying to decide what to do, something I land
on makes it vanish.
Hoping someone has the patience to tackle this or knows a way to get this book
uploaded properly.
Always With Love,
Lissi

No. I mean that you install the pc equivalent software and these books are
readable. There's one other step which is that you need a very simple set file
to draw a window and read what's in that window at the press of page-up or
page-down. With Window-Eyes, that's a couple minutes work. I've already done
it and I'm very unfamiliar with set files. With JFW, it should be equally easy.
There may be talking palm pilots which would work, but I'm not familiar with
them.
Alternatively, many books on PDB are also available as PDF. I have no idea
whether these would be readable.

You mean I buy a palm pilot and then these books talk to me? How much are
palm pilots? What else can I do with it and how would I do it with no
vision at all? Thanks for info.
