 TG> Hi David, 
 TG> What is the latest version of turbo braille and what changes  
 TG> are in the new version? tom G 
 
Tom,  We are up to version 2.54.  Most of the changes and refinements won't be
notices by users usually.  We have continued to correct translation errors as we
find them.  The table is up to 476 rules.  Version 1.0 had 403.  Recently we
have made it more bullet proof when handling multiple codes by WordPerfect, that
is multiple codes on a line.  Because the codes are normally hidden, people do
weird things without always realizing it.
We have recently added a command for doing interpoint braille page numbering and
added the termination line, used between magazine articles and also a dot
command to draw one or more lines across a page, to guide in folding letters.
We are now working on a memory-resident version called Auto Braille which should
be out later this fall.  It will intercept data sent by any program to the PRN
device, translate it and then send it out.
Take care...
David Andrews
