 NV> HELLO, I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF ANYONE C CAN HELP ME OUT. I HAVE

Yes, the Hot Dots program should run on your Toshiba.  At the risk
of being partisan, I would like to suggest the translator I market,
Turbo Braille from KANSYS, Inc.  It is less then Hot Dots, costing
$249.00 and accepts WordStar and WordPerfect as well as ASCII
files.  It also handles basic formatting tasks automatically.  Hot
Dots uses special commands to handle formatting.  If you used BEX
or Braille Edit, they will be familiar to you, if not, then they
will seem like a hassle.

Send me net mail to 129/89 or 115/778 with your address and I will
send you a demo disk.  You can also download the latest version
from Willie's board.  Other boards have it, but may not have the
latest.  I haven't had much time for uploading lately.  The latest
version is 2.51.

Finally, we will be coming out with a memory-resident version,
"AutoBraille" this fall.  You will be able to print directly from
your word processor.
