[nabs-l] Dowloading files from Bookshare to Victor Stream

[Steve Jacobson]

Justin,

I am not sure if Jewel was suggesting this, but I would avoid renaming the files you download.  If you do, though, the end of the file name should remain 
".zip" to be sure that it is detected as a "ZIP" file.  If the last part of the file name is not ".zip", the extract option may not appear.  You may be asked to 
enter your Bookshare password as well.

Best regards,

Steve Jacobson
