Hi Mike,
Grade 0 is not really a code sanctioned by BANA or any other
group. It is a term we use at Duxbury to mean DO NOT
TRANSLATE. Print text marked for grade 0 translation will
come out character-for-character on your embosser. To
effectively use grade 0, you must know the ASCII braille.
Computer Braille Code (CBC) was developed by BANA in the
early 1980's so that blind computer operators could have a
strict one-for-one equivalence, with capital indicators, for
text written in computerese. Some of the contractions in
braille would be hard to distinguish from special
characters, such as slash (/), if literary was used for
computerese. CBC is nearly identical to ASCII braille
equivalents in its character mapping.
George.

What is grade 0? Is it the same as grade 1?

What happens if you open the file as print text file and
then
"translate" it
as Grade 0?
