Hi David 

The charts you speak of on the Duxbury home page are PDF files. I'm looking for 
something in braille.

  Anyone can do any amount of work provided it isn't the work he/she is 
supposed to be doing.

One the main page of the Duxbury website is a link for 3 braille charts ready 
for downloading: BANA, British, and UEB.


UEB braille is designed to remove braille ambiguities, and to be closer to the 
underlying inkprint. Nine contractions of BANA and BAUK braille are eliminated: 
ally, ation, ble, by, com, dd, into, o'clock, and to. Many of the uses of these 
contraction rules have changed from BANA and/or BAUK braille. The punctuation 
and composition signs are revamped almost entirely

Here is a useful link:

    Appealingness is inversely proportional to attainability.
