Duxbury Systems first used the .brf file format in their software before
1980. In the CP/M and DOS versions of their software, the developed a two
pass process in converting the text to braille. First, the text file was
converted into unformatted braille, processing contractions and such from a
look-up table. Then it was formatted into literary braille format and the
extension .brf appended to the filename so that the transcriber would know
that is the finished file. Since they have switched to Windows, the process
is different and the file extension is different as well. Other companies
followed suit with the extension.
