Thanks so much, George, for the confirmation of what I suspected. It seems
that the Mac has foiled Duxbury for the final time. Hindsight tells me that we
should not have invested in the first place, but working in a one hundred
percent Mac environment with DBT/Mac seemed a viable way to go at the time and
the program has been put to good use for a number of years now. All is not
lost, however, as I also use Windows and have the latest version of DBT/Win
installed on that computer. -- kt

Hi Kaye,
I'm sorry to say that there is no DBT/Mac Upgrade planned at the present time
beyond DBT 10.4. In fact, I'm not sure if it is just Braille Board or applies
to DBT as well, but Mac OS 10.# is definitely a no go area. I don't know the
technical details, but there were some changes between OS 9.# and 10.#.
Unfortunately it boils down to a plain old case of economic viability. Here in
the UK, DBT Mac sales have been less than a quarter of one per cent of DBT
Windows sales, and I gather much the same elsewhere.
Having said that, we'll obviously be keeping a very close eye on the situation.
