Joe: When you used the Braille Lite to create files, did you use grade II Braille? Meaning, when you wrote the files, did you use grade II Braille? If so, when you transfer the files to your Braille Note, and then open one of the files, the "review the options" list will appear. Make sure that you tell Keysoft that the files are Braille, not Text. This will prevent double translation from happening. Another way to make sure that you can read the files is to rename all of them with a "brf" extension. For instance, if I had a file created on my Braille Lite called "bills", I would rename it "bills.brf". When I moved from the Braille Lite to the Braille Note, this is what I did. Either way, you should be able to read the files just fine.

Unfortunately, I had a lot of files backed up on diskettes originally produced in the Braille Lite unit. The Braille Lite unit crashed so that I can no longer access the files to translate them to text. All this to finally arrive at the point that I would like to access these old files. How would I go about doing this? I only said ASCII because I think that's the Braille Lite format, but if it's not, please forgive my non-technical understanding of these things. Thanks in advance.
