AFAIK, both Duxbury 10.2D and 102E are Windows versions (Windows 95/98).

Terri,
I guess .DXB files came along much later than the DOS version of
Duxbury I was using. Did you emboss them from within the program
itself, or did you just copy them to the parallel port? Are .DXB
files different under DBTW than they were under the DOS program?
