If you use British Braille rules, do please read on. This message may be important to you. The Braille Authority of the United Kingdom (BAUK) have published new rules for literary, math and computer braille, with effect from last month (August). These are essentially mandatory for braille producers. If you are an educational user, please especially note that all school, college and university examination papers produced in braille in the UK will now use these new rules. For details of the changes, please visit the BAUK web site at http://www.bauk.org.uk. You will find links to their Publications page, where there are both PDF and braille files of many publications. DBT 10.5 Service Release 2 is now available as has been previously announced and includes new rule tables. And sorry to repeat this, but it is specifically ONLY for fully licensed users of Version 10.5. If you have 10.5, and run DBT, you will find in the Help menu, an item called "Check for Updates". Make sure you are connected to the internet, select this item, and follow the instructions. If you have 10.4 or earlier, please contact us (or your local dealer) for upgrade details and prices, but please ensure you give your DBT Serial Number when you call. If you are located in the UK, and have problems, or do not have an internet connection on the system you wish to upgrade, please feel free to telephone 01604 792 777 and ask for Duxbury Support. We will help you as appropriate. Again, please have your DBT serial number to hand. Should you not be based in the U.K., and require help during GMT (British) business hours, do please feel free to contact us. We cannot guarantee full support, but we will do our best to help you. Our telephone number from abroad is +44 1604 792777. However, if you have a local dealer, we would request you call them first. May we stress the importance of reviewing the following web page, and especially the link on that page to, "important information for British users". http://www.duxburysystems.com/dbtwhst.asp This page provides you with important advice and recommendations with regard to existing files which you may wish to re-translate using the new rules.
