Dear Dean,

The full version of DBT Win has a Greek braille table as well as many other 
tables which the BN doesn't have.

A person could create a Word, WP, rtf, txt document in Greek, transfer it to 
a PC which has DBT Win installed, and use DBT Win to translate the document 
into Greek braille.  If someone wanted to read such a file on the BN, he/she 
could save the DBT file as a .brf file, transfer it to the BN and read it. 
(Of Course, the speech won't work).

One caution, though:  If a person exports a file to Word or rtf, DBT won't 
read these files because they are rich text format and the Word files are 
not true Word.  So, before importing such a file into DBT, it must be opened 
in Word and saved as a Word document.

Perhaps HumanWare could consider the idea of offering additional tables for 
the BN to those who want them and would be willing to pay extra for them.

: Hello Richard,
:
: >From a BrailleNote perspective, we do not have any Greek Duxbury tables 
to

are

would

we

is
