[gui-talk] what is dazy, niso and victor reader

[David Andrews]

NISO stands for the National Information and Standards Organization 
or something like that.  NLS digital books are human read.  They are 
recorded in the DAISY 3 standard, officially called the ANSI/NISO 
z39-86 2002 standard.  RFB&D also records books using humans, and 
records in the DAISY format as well.  They use a earlier version of 
the standard, 2.02.

Their downloadable books are protected Windows Media files, so do not 
have the navigation  features of a full DAISY book.
