I am a new user of DBT. Well, I am very new to all of this. I have recently
been able to recieve Tiger Embosser but it has no instruction book, where would
I find one. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Jana

Davey:
What form size are you picking? If you are using the "11 inch wide paper"
(11.5 wide, 11 inches high), then our records say it can handle 42 characters
across. Our numbers have been rigorously checked by Enabling Technology.
I have some questions for you:
1) Are you using 11.5 inch by 11 inch paper?
2) Have you done anything to increase the horizontal density of embossing
(i.e. pack in more cells per inch)?
3) Do you think the Enabling numbers are wrong?
Now, some information for you.
The embossing characteristics of each embosser is controlled by the file
emb.elt in the main directory containing your DBT 10.5 software. You can change
this file with a text editor (such as Notepad or Wordpad). The beginning of the
file contains lots of documentation. Be aware that each update to DBT will
over-write this file, so save your changes in a safe place.
You can either create a new form size for your embosser, or modify an
existing one.
Once you have changed emb.elt, delete the old embosser configuration, and
then create a new one from scratch making use of your changes.
It you believe there is an error in this file, please e-mail me directly.
I hope this addresses all of your issues.

Hi guys,
This my first time here since we just bought a copy of DBT.
Have those of you using Juliets found a way to get more than 42 available
spaces? We want our cake and eat it too. With MegaDots and Juliet both being
basically unaware from a Windows perspective, we can configure the Juliet to
have 40 character lines beginning in what would bbe cell 4. That way we get a
nice wide separation from the bindings. So far I've only experienced that the
maximum width is 42 characters and if we want 3 cells of left margin then the
most brailling room we have is 39 cells.
When I unchecked the "control sequences", it shows left margins as 1 and
right as 56, but when I go back to the general tab, it only gives me 42, so
that work around didn't work.
I also tried to fool the system with extra wide paper. The numbers worked
right then, but it locked my machine up every time I then tried to emboss with
those settings.
Or do you all just succumb to 39 cells?
Thanks all.

Hi Karina,
You may put DBT on your personally owned laptop as well for your own use.
Your license is a single-user license, which essentially means that only
the licensed user can use it at any one time.
All the best,
George.

Hi George,
I'd like to put Duxbury on my laptop as well as on my home PC, is this
possible as I was under the impression that you can only have it on one machine
at a time?
Thanks.
Karina

Hi Theresa,
Place the Duxbury CD in the laptop CD drive, wait for it to autorun,
and follow the on-screen instructions from there.
The full process is described in more detail in the installation guide
that should have come with the original software.
