[macvoiceover] I am now printing Duxbury brf files from a MAC!

Hello every one,
Yes, now thanks to Greg Kearney, I am now able to print our Duxbury BRF files from a MAC to a braille printer. The MAC sends a BRF file from a USB port on the MAC through a serial converter to the serial port on the braille printer. It has been used successfully with some Enabling Technoligy printers and The basic-D printers.
Other printers with a serial port may work as well, but we have not had other printers to test.
It is most important for us here at Bibles for the Blind to be able to print our BRF files. A great deal of work has gone into the creation of those files over the years. 

The little program that makes this happen is the brfsend program.
New brf files can be created with NFB TRANS, which I am told will creat documents in other languages. 

I plan to start learning NFB TRANS tomorrow
Greg, would you be kind enough to tell us where we mite download the latest BRFSEND and the latest NFBTRANS files. 

This is a great day for braille printing on the MAC!    

Thank you Greg!

Keith Reedy
