First off to diffuse the FUD, the daisy reader in emacspeak does work, and I do use it regularly with books from Bookshare. It's been a while since this was last posted to the list, so you may want to give this a read: http://catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html as a means of increasing the chances of getting help. Note that Bookshare recently changed some of its Daisy book output, and some new books may not work --- code and patches welcome --- that's the meaning of Open Source so we all dont forget. As for the outline-regexp problem, that's probably something in your emacs setup you need to debug. -- Best Regards, --raman Email : raman@xxxxxxxxxxx :ã WWW : http://emacspeak.sf.net/raman/ : â GTalk : tv.raman.tv@xxxxxxxxxxx : â PGP : http://emacspeak.sf.net/raman/raman-almaden.asc : â Google : tv+raman : ?
