I have some questions regarding Braille 2000:
Is it a Public domain or Shareware piece of software?
Can you download a trial version
If it is not Public domain or Shareware, how much does it cost?
If it is Public domain or Shareware, what is the web address where you
can download a copy?
Sincerely:
Dave Durber
