Hi Jean,
There is an upgrade in the pipeline to accommodate these
changes, but I have no idea at this point when it will be
released. It is being worked on, is about as much as I dare
say right now.
I'll have to work on your second question later as it's time
to head home.
George.

Subject: [duxuser] new braille symbols
With the release of the BANA Code Updates for literary and
textbook formats that were just released and which took
effect on January 1, there are new symbols for things like
copyright, trademark and registered. Dots 4-5 "c", "t", and
"r" respectively. Will these codes be added to the next
release of DBT?
Also, how are rule changes encorporated? Will DBT wait until
the entire code is revised, or do they build in changes as
they are approved? I'm thinking here of the new rule in
literary English braille to not insert an apostrophe in
plural numbers, abbreviations, etc., and to use the
termination indicator instead if changing from an uppercase
abbreviation to a lowercase plural "s".
Is there any way to create the new symbols for copyright,
trademark and registered in simbraille in Word? I can't
think of what might create the dot 4-5 part.
