MegaDots and the Duxbury Braille Translator are not the same product. DBT is a full Windows program. MegaDots requires Windows to install, but it still runs under DOS.

Since MegaDots is now operational on Windows systems, does this mean that Megadots and DBT are the same? If not, what are the differences between the two products?

News Flash: Introducing MegaDots 2.3MegaDots 2.3 has a Windows install program. It installs all the icons, and shortcuts for you. No more installation headaches. The question "Does MegaDots works in Windows?" is obsolete. Now MegaDots requires Windows in order to be installed! The install program asks for your serial number and a password. No more floppy disks needed during installation. The install program also works as a demo if a valid serial number/password is not given. Beginner Braille and MegaMath are included at no additional charge! These two add-on features used to cost an additional $400. MegaMath includes support for chemistry symbols. MegaDots now includes and makes use of Embossit 2.0. This unique Duxbury Systems product allows MegaDots to emboss to any Embosser that DBT 10.5 can emboss to. If you happen to own DBT 10.5, you will notice that Embossit 2.0 has the same list of configured embossers as DBT 10.5. This means you can emboss to USB devices, to network e
 mbossers, or to embossers requiring exotic Windows drivers, such as the ViewPlus Tiger series. MegaDots 2.3 contains MegaPRN, a program that lets MegaDots 2.3 print to any Windows printer on your system. You can produce inkprint output to your network printers. MegaDots 2.3 supports the changes to the British rules, including changes to the translation to a significant number of words. MegaDots 2.3 eliminates the crashes that occurred on Windows XP Pro with some file importations and exporting. Dozens of other improvements.
