Yeah, once you convert from Daisy (a much cleaner comnversion than from
.brf), you can read via Word, or if you are visual reader, use ZoomText
or magic or Kurzweil, etc. I tried a couple times backtranslatinfg from
the .brf file. Pretty fuinny as I had to figure out double codes. The
grade 2 made for some funny translations! If I didn't know grade 2
braile, I never would have figured out many of the mistakes, they would
not have made sense. Easier to convert from Daisy.

Thank's basically what I've been doing with the books.
And I'll take the suggestion and notify folks about getting a Daisy
version
of the book.
