bookshare.org unpack

[Beth Hatch]

Hi,

I understand that the books have an encrypted password.<smile>  I've been
able to use zip by unpacking books by renaming them and entering my password
when prompted.  I'm sorry to cause confusion for anyone, but I thought since
it worked for me that it might help others.  I guess it's time for me to
stay out of this then for now since what I suggested didn't work.<smile>

It's not a question of zip, gunzip, or any other particular archive format.
The books are encrypted with your login password. Unzip, tar, and all those
tools, won't handle that.
