Hi Mesar,
Thanks for your work in straightening out the tables. en-us-brf.dis is
an important file. It is used by organizations like Bookshare to make
the usual lower-case braille produced by liblouis upper-case. This is
the "standard" in the U.S., although lower-case is accepted by most
embossers and is better for most Braille displays. There are some
devices that demand upper case. Please do not delete this file.
John
