Hello net, I'm searching for a copy of a program which was 
popular in the early to mid 70's.  It would take a line of
characters destined for a printer and convert them to
braille characters in a 2x3 pattern of periods which after
multiple strike-overs could be read as braille through the
back of stiff paper.  An impact type printer like an old
ASR 33, or IBM selectric was required, but the end result
was tolerable braille output.  These old printers often
are sold at ham fests, I've had requests from several bind
hams for software to do this type of conversion.  If you 
have a program like this for general distribution, I'd
truly enjoy a copy.  Thanks.
