List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: Hi all, Nope, bookshare, thanks to Jim Danley and some others now has an unpack tool in Linux. I have beta tested it and found it excellent. The web site works well with The Cat. I don't know how well it works with The Chain. You do have to pay $75 initially, $25 to get set up and $50 for the year, though if you volunteer in some way, you can reduce that rate considerably, I understand. they are not available to folks outside the U.S., but they claim to be working on ways to accomplish this. Frankly, I prefer to spend my time volunteering at Kirk's site, but I may throw them a book or two and might get my rate deminished to a reasonable level. Naw, Steve, I wouldn't have joined if they hadn't been accessible to Linuxers. Ann P. -- Ann K.
