Anna et Al, My plan was to download the .brf onto my Mac, unzip it, and copy the unzipped file to a Braille Edge that I now have. I must not be unzipping correctly because when I go to open the file, one of two things happens. (1) I get either a message that says "no item" or (2), there appears to be a file but there is nothing in it. I say there appears to be a file because when I use the appropriate commands I get told I am at the beginning or end of the wordless document. I have copied some .txt files onto the Edge and opened them successfully.
I would love to use BARD but don't know a way to transfer the unzipped BARD file to my Edge -- I use BARD constantly to download audio books onto my stream. Come to think of it can I download a .brf onto my Victor and copy it from that sd card to the card in the Edge? Or will Victor render the .brf file as unintelligible to the Edge?
