This note is to those of you who are assisting with the
Braille Technology Taskforce reviews for the APH contract.
 
As you may remember, this is the third and final year of this
project. This is the last time we must update the document.
 
It is time to get Braille translation program updates from you guys.
 
Here is the list of programs and who did them as
best as I can remember.
 
Duxbury, This was either Lloyd, or Curtis. They have had a
major update, and it should be reviewed. Is this possible.
Do you need us to get a copy?
 
Duxwp, Lloyd, I don't know if there has been an upgrade.
can you find out.

nfbtrans, Curtis, There have been some minor upgrading,
foreign languages added, etc. A couple new paragraphs
will probably do, you don't need to rewrite the whole thing.
There is a version 7.38 on CompuServe. I need to get it onto
nfb net.
 
Mega Dots, Curtis. They are up to 1.4, with a beta of 1.5
I think. Here again an adendum will probably be fine.
 
PC Braille, Steve. They have been promising an update for a couple
years. I will call once more, Steve.
 
Tuirbo Braille, Lloyd, They are up to version 3.3F, Lloyd.
He is talking about upgrade. I will talk to him and let you know.
 
 If I have missed anything, let me know.

International Braille and Technology Center
