 tpennick@axion.bt.co.uk (Tim Pennick) wants to know: " This posting is
in the vain hope that someone has come up with a really quick and
practical way of converting print diagrams into tactile ones."

Enabling Technologies in Stuart, Florida says that they have a software
program that will convert scanned images into tactile braille graphics.
I have only seen paper samples and not used the program yet myself.  I
hope to try it in the coming month.   Their number is 407-283-4817.
