Hey there If Bex is on there, is there a braille translator on there? That would be real interesting. The translator should be as good as it ever was if there is one on there. Regards, Gigi Sent from my iPhone On Sep 25, 2013, at 6:29 PM, erik burggraaf e...@erik-burggraaf.com wrote: Well,

Well, the translater wouldn't be at issue. That was a function of bex, not the computer. So, presumably that still works. The issue would be embossing because you would need support for serial embossers in the emulator. I'm just trying to imagine connecting up an embosser in such a way that

Hi there Actually, since I don't have an embosser, what occurred to me is whether one could select all the text once translation had gotten done and put the braille text into a brf file by using TextEdit. I don't know if it would work or not, but the thought did occur to me. It's probably too

They're the older apple games we all, or at least some of us used to play back in the day when the Apple computers first came out, so thought I'd share that. On Sep 25, 2013, at 4:28 PM, Ray Foret jr wrote: Uh, just what is this supposed to do? I don't download stuff I don't know what it is.

Part of the trick is just to take it one step at a time. The documentation is pretty nice actually. Do the first step, then do the second, then the third and it all works. If you're not familiar with the command line then it's a bit more daunting I suppose. Maybe the podcast will clarify
