Deb,
DXB files are Duxbury coded Braille files. If you opened one in a text editor
such as Notepad or Wordpad, you would see all the codes that tell Duxbury how
to present and emboss the file, such as [<], [pg], [es~para], and so on.
A BRF file is a plain, "vanilla", ASCII file that only contains the Braille
text. These files are actually text files, with the ASCII signs that produce
contracted Braille when embossed or viewed on a Braille display.
If this is about as clear as mud, let me know, and I'll try again. [Smile]

Subject: [duxuser] Brf versus Dxb
I have a questions about the difference between Brf and Dxb. What is the
difference and if you're going to put books on the Web as, say, web braille,
they're Brf so how do you save a document if you've had it in Duxbury as a dxb
file?
My boss asked me to check on this. I'll be away after 11:30 today, want be
back until Tuesday, but I'll look forward to any info then.
Thanks,
Deb B.
