Rick,

thanks. That helps. There wasn't any way I could have known these things. By 
the way, my name's Joel, with an l at the end. Thanks.

Joe,

BKS is indeed a proprietary filetyype.  In order to make the books work, one
had to download an Unpack tool from the
Bookshare site.  Only members who have logged in can do this.  There was
both compression and encryption here.

Second, Zip files can been encrypted.  When I go into Windows Explorer and
Extract All Files, I am prompted for my  password.
