Hi Jean,

I used to do a lot of ASCII braille back when Duxbury was using DOS.  I would 
find myself needing to make additions to the braille document, and this seemed 
the easiest way to do it.  Back then, I ran the file through Duxbury, opened 
the file in a modified form of WordStar, made the modifications, stripped it to 
plain text, and then embossed it.  I used WordStar 4, and had the page format 
designed to emulate the braille page size.

I learned the ASCII braille part from using the old VersaBraille Classic, and 
it just stayed there with me.
