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.

        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 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.
