Thanks Joseph for all your work. You can see I have a lot to learn, I sure never knew aski and text were the same. Thanks again for this pot of gold. When they get my embosser working, this will be one of the first to be embossed. Thanks again. Terry Powers

There is an excellent site where it lists all the file types that is known. I'll try to do my best to list the files that KeySoft uses. 1. Literary files: .kwt (KeyWord Text): the default file format for BrailleNote QT users (also known as Text Document KeyWord Type). .kwb (KeyWord Braille): the default file format for BrailleNote BT (also known as Braille Document KeyWord Type). .txt (ASCII Text file): used on notepad, this is the universal file format used by PC's. This is the simplest file format. .doc (MS Word file): the file format used by Microsoft Word (in Office 2003, an additional format, .xml, is also supported). .rtf (Rich Text Format): Another universally availible format. .brf (Literary Braille): a common format for braille document. .brl (Literary Braille): another braille file format, although less common than .brf format. 2. Media files: .mp3 (MPEG Layer version 3): a well-known format for media files. A 1 minute CD-quality file may take approx 1 MB of disk space. This format is widely availible. .wma (Windows Media Audio): A file format used by Windows Media Player. This file format is also widely availible. .wmv (Windows Media Video): A video-encoding format used by Windows Media Player. .wav (Pure Wave Format Sound): A popular format for wave sound files (when you record memos, BrailleNote will save the file in .wav format.). .m3u (mp3 playlist): A type of playlist used by many media players. It consists of file names ending in mostly .mp3 extension. .pls (playlist): Another common playlist format. 3. System files: .exe (Executable): A common file format for application programs. Not all programs are compatible. .dll (Dynamic Link Library): A common file format that is associated with device drivers. .sys (System file): A file format used by files that operating system uses for various purposes. .com (Command Prompt): A program format used by DOS. .cdb (Database): A database format used by Windows CE. 4. Specific file formats used by KeySoft: .kbs (KeyBase only): A database file used by Database Manager (KeyBase.). .kpt (KeyPlan Text calendar): A file format used by Planner (KeyPlan) on KS5.0 and lower (QT only). .kpb (KeyPlan Braille calendar): A file format used by Planner (KeyPlan) on KS5.0 and lower (BT only). .klt (KeyList file): A file file format used by Address List (KeyList). 5. Miscellaneous file formats: .url (Uniform Resource Locator): A file format used by Internet Explorer to store favorites. .poi (Points Of Interest): A file format used by BrailleNote GPS to store User or default Points of Interests. .z1-.z8 (Z Code machine language): A popular Text Adventure game format developed by Inficom that is the most widely known game format (BrailleNote supports Z Code version 5 (.z5) and Z Code version 8 (.z8) games.). I hope this information may help you. P.S. I did not list file formats used by DAISY players since KeySoft doesn't have DAISY player. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Powers, Terry (NIH/OD/DEAS) [E] Sent: Tuesday, February 28, 2006 12:32 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [Braillenote] types of files Hi Everyone; Is there some place or would someone be willing to put together a good explination of all these literary and music files.
