There may be a more elegant solution for the problem than this one but here is one way to get around the problem.
Begin by saving your bsp file as a text or doc file. You will be able to work on it on your pc, then. Import the file back into your bsp as a doc or txt file and save it as a brf file. The brf file can then be imported into the computer and thence to Duxbury, if you like. You, of course, could simply start with a doc or txt file in the pc and use that for translation or embossing.

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 I got duxbury in 99 so yes it's very out of date and perhaps there's no hope for this project until I get a current version.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. Tessa My groups blind gardener [email protected] writing blind [email protected] sightlines [email protected]
