Prospective PLs, please see the Guide for Proof-listeners.

IMPORTANT - soloist, please note: in order to limit the number of languishing projects on our server, we ask that you post an update at least once a month in your project thread, even if you haven't recorded anything. If we don't hear from you for three months, your project may be opened up to a group project if a Book Coordinator is found. Files you have completed will be used in this project. If you haven't recorded anything yet, your project will be removed from the forum (contact any admin to see if it can be re-instated).

Please don't download or listen to files belonging to projects in process unless you are the BC or PL. Our servers are not set up to handle the greater volume of traffic. Please wait until the project has been completed. Thanks!

I just realized that I omitted "End of Section Zero". I'll take care of that tomorrow. Sorry about that.

Section 1 is PL ok. This had a shorter filename than the one you were originally using. I think the Section 1 filename is better so I changed it in the first post of this thread. Thus, you need to fix the filename of Section 00 to match that. Ok?

Oh, that was my error--plus shorter is easier for the rest of the sections--so okay! Thanks!
