: A .BRF file is a braille formatted file which is suitable for
: embossing or loading into a notetaker. Similarly, a .PRF file is one
: which can be sent directly to a printer. A .DXB file is the braille
: output from DBTW, but you can't emboss it directly because it still
: contains all the Duxbury codes. The "DXB" means "Duxbury
: braille." You didn't ask about this, but a .DXP file is one that has
: not yet been translated into braille, but contains all the Duxbury
: codes. You can also generate a .DXP file by back-translating a .DXB file.
