The clit executable (used with Lit2sb ) can be run with no arguments in a dos windows and you should see:
Quote:
Second, is the DOWNCONVERTING of a .LIT file down to "Sealed",
or DRM1 format for reading on handheld devices.
To downconvert, you type: clit <flags> <litfile.lit> <newlitfile.lit>
For Example:
clit "drm5 ebook.lit" ebook-open.lit
In essence, "clit downgrades the DRM level from DRM5 to DRM1, which while still "sealed", can then be read on any instance of MS Reader regardless of the MS Passport used to activate that instance of MS Reader."

The original will be left intact and the less restrictive verison (i.e. ebook-open.lit) will be what you could use, in the future.

BTW, the resulting .imp is not encrypted, by choice. You can create encrypted .imp's that only your reader could read by using the eBook Publisher software to open the resulting o_sb.opf and change the Edition Settings... | Build Options | encrypt. But why, since then the ugly DRM cycle would start all over again...
