Hi, George. Thanks for the info on S/N. Rather than fuss with the school and
all the red tape, I'll call Duxbury and get it myself. Red tape can, and no
doubt will, take months to untangle, and my student officially starts the
class in less than two weeks. S/N will go a long way toward saving my
sanity. I have a limitted knowledge of Nemoth myself, and having to figure
out where I am on the computer screen in order to place the numbers where
they will need to be won't be an easy thing. Where math's concerned, I'll
take the Perkins any day. *grin* Will be interested in whatever dialog comes
about.
Thanks,
Dani

Hi Dani,
Your question will no doubt open up quite a dialog and, since my knowledge
of maths braille could be written, in braille, on my thumbnail, I'll revert
to the easy way out, which you may wish to consider in the longer term as
the maths requirement becomes more complex. (And also when DBT 10.4 comes
out)
Scientific Notebook is a mathematical desk top publishing package, which at
$49 educational, doesn't usually break the school budget. (See
http://www.mackichan.com/ for full details) You can get a fully working one
month evaluation copy either by download, or on CD.
The files created by S/N can be imported into DBT and translated. In
addition, it is an excellent package in so much as it can be used in
main-stream printed school work, and can also produce Large Print maths if
needs be.
I would stress now that DBT's Scientific Notebook Importer has been further
enhanced for DBT 10.5, and I believe it will be a powerful feature and
benefit for anyone needing to produce maths braille, in a hurry, and with a
limited knowledge of the overall subject.
George Bell.
