Thanks, Zack. I do have stanza as well, but haven't played with it a whole lot.
I may look into the scripts for Calibre, too.
Thanks again,

Hi Teresa,
Calibre actually can be used if you confine yourself to command line programs
in Terminal. It ships with several rather nice scripts, including
ebook-convert to do command line conversions. As far as GUI programs, I can
recommend Stanza. It will convert between most popular formats.
I'm getting lots of "unknowns". Is there any other e-book management software
that converts formats, etc.?
TiA,
Teresa

Hi:
Just remember, Voiceover isn't Jaws, and the Mac isn't Windows. If you treat
them as individuals, you will be fine.

Hi Shawn,
Interactive fiction is a game style that was popular in the 1980's and to a
lesser extent later on. Basically, you are given a bunch of text describing a
situation and have to react to it by typing commands. If you've ever played
muds or games of that type, this should be pretty fami

I hated the speech for the Apple II Es. They sounded so harsh and
