Brian;; You are getting the two of us mixed up. I am the one supporting HW and trying to convince Terri Panit and others to give HW time to fix the bugs. I just sent your message so Rhonda would understand what I had been talking about. You are not the only one mixing the two of us. Someone else called Terri Pannit, Terry Powers, actually mr. Powers. We are both females, but I use y at the end of my name. It just got to be a habbit.
Terry Powers -----Original Message----- From: Brian Lingard [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, September 04, 2007 3:37 PM To: BrailleNote List Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Braillenote] RE: The Back Translation Bugs Of KS 7.5 Build 17 Ottawa Canada Dear Terry and list: It is not true that Humanware deliberately broke the Back Translator of KS 7.5 Build 17 to force everyone to use UEB or Computer Braille! The problem was caused by an updated component from another firm being delivered to Humanware late in the development cycle and Humanware not having a chance to test the functionality of the updated component prior to the scheduled release of KS 7.5. As it turns out, the updated component had serious problems, mostly to do with back translation of grade two Braille into text. The folks at Humanware are fully aware of the problem and its very serious impact upon BrailleNote users, especially those who habitually compose, edit and otherwise work in Braille documents then back translate them to send them as e-mail or for ink printing. Maurice Sloane stated earlier this week he expected the back translation bugs would be fully exterminated, proved to be exterminated for good and a nice shiny patched version of nk.bin for KS 7.5 released within "a couple of days." Having worked in software development, testing, debugging and maintenance, I'd give them a few extra days as some bugs are very robust and just won't go away when the Orkin Man and Terminex arrive to shoo them away. How about giving them until the end of this week, September 7? That way they can test the darn thing and see if it really works or if something else broke while they were fixing the back translation bugs. Brian Brian K.
