If the 3 book files are in the Comet directory, then they should be found. Hmm, the only thing, which comes into my mind is that Linux is case sensitiv regarding file names whereas Windows isn't. The book file names should be in small letter, i.e. comet.sbk, comet.hbk & comet.lbk. Perhaps it's a hint to check this." So, at least we know they should work, I hope the hint from Uli will work for you!? Best wishes, Leo.
