Hi Harry. 
Some people find it more readable to do a transformation in TextEdit for 
reading brf files. This is because since dots 7 and 8 need to be up to show 
computer braille, you see everything in all caps. It doesn't bother some 
people, but it bothers me. So I do a transformation in TextEdit to take 
everything to lower case. This doesn't mess up the file, but it sure makes 
reading easier.
