[Dtb-talk] Obi Help

[Peter Donahue]

Good afternoon Greg and listers,

    I would like for once to receive a free DAISY creation tool that 
wouldn't prompt me to install this and that other utility in order to permit 
me to get the thing on my system and use it correctly. I ran in to this with 
the save as daisy add-in for MSWord and Obi.
I needed to upgrade the .Net Framework and was prompted to upgrade both the 
JAVA Run-Time Environment and Microsoft Direct X. Obi prompted me to upgrade 
the JRE and proceeded to allow me to run the installer so it could be 
upgraded. Because Obi was still being installed the JRE installation 
aborted. Even after installing the JRE by itself Obi still prompted me to 
reinstall it again and I was back with the same problem. It didn't make any 
attempt to install Direct X. Obi wouldn't install on my system.I appreciate 
the effort put in to developing these programs, but would appreciate more 
effort being made to help users get them up and running with a minimum 
amount of fuss and frustration.

What you want is the DAISY Pipeline a free program for the DAISY
Consortium http://daisymfc.sourceforge.net/

It is a cross platform tool that takse DTBook XML files verifies them
as valid and will generate DAISY/NISO z3986 and DAISY 2.02 valid books.
