What about using the file in .doc or .rtf on both ends? That way you can use
MS Word or Wordpad on the pc and the BS will still handle the file. Just a
thought, and, I know, not as nice as having braille on both machines.
Have a great day,
Alex

Subject: [GWN] duxbury question
Hi All
I have a very old version of duxbury on my pc, when I save files the
endings
are .dxp and .dxb the bsp doesn't recognize these formats. there is an
option to save as a .txt file but when I open this in the bsp the file is
full of $ and multiple other signs.
We have a script for a play that I want to edit and be able to transfer
back
and forth between the bsp and my version of duxbury if at all possible. I
can't emboss directly from the bsp because my embosser doesn't have the
right connections, it's an old blazy blazer and I don't know if the bsp
even
supports it. Anyway if anyone has any suggestions for doing this I'd
appreciate it.
I got duxbury in 99 so yes it's very out of date and perhaps there's no
hope
for this project until I get a current version. I am having a real
challenge
editing just in duxbury itself because it was designed for windows 95
according to the "about" item in the help menu and though it works with xp
it causes the pc to crash after every 5 or 10 changes in text. So, you can
see why I'm looking for alternatives.
Thanks for any ideas.
