Larry,

Thanks for your easy test. I tried the following in NotePad:
su6 ro2 da7 di6 .
Then in the BP transfer program I pointed at the file and hit alt-P. Here is what I found:
su! ro; da) di!.

Then, back in NotePad, I entered:
su6[ su6]
This time in the transfer program I got:
suffow suffer

So now I am really confused! The files I have created on the Millennium 40 in contracted Braille, and saved with a .brf extention, seem always to end up with su6er for suffer, ro2er for robber, etc, etc. This happens whether I entered the files as contracted Braille from the keyboard, or whether the file was a text file which I then translated to a contracted Braille file with the Quick Braille program.

Anxious for enlightenment...

Apparently, there is a component on your system that is not getting

Type in notepad

su6]

and save it as c:\test.brf.

Now open Book Port Transfer, point to that file, and hit alt+P to see
the preview window.  It should come out as suffer.

Hi,
That's because the FF, GG, BB, etc are translated as nemeth code
numbers.
The bookport uses computer braille.  You probably will not see this
change.

Hello everyone.

I have the 2.3 firmware and associated transfer software update. I
was disappointed to note that there still seems to be a bug in the
reverse translator.

When reading .brf files which have been transferred to the
bookportsome letter combinations still do not get properly
uncontracted. For example:
1. Suffer is read as su6er by the bookport;
2. Robber is read as ro2er;
3. Dagger, difference, and other words are also not handled properly.

I passed on a list of the problems some time ago and hoped that all
would be corrected on this update, but I still have the problem.  Has
anyone else seen this?
