George

That is intersecting to know as I still have an old Index here, also an old
version of DBT.

When are you open after the New Year (or whatever you call it north of the
border!!!!!!!)

Happy haggis hunting

That's a relatively recent one you have, Steve.  There are still quite a few
of our users with the old red and blue bar Indexes running on Windows 10.
And we can usually even repair them.

What started as a £29.95 USB to parallel adaptor from Maplin, is now even
down to £9.95, hence no connectivity issues.

Hi George,

Yes, I wondered about that too.  My old Index Basic V3 still works on
Windows 10 beautifully.

All the best

Steve

Hi Mo,

What on earth make and model of embosser do you have which costs that much
to get it working with Windows 10?

We been supplying braille embossing hardware and software for almost 30
years, and have never come across such a thing.  Yet!

Hello Everyone.
I have a braille embosser and the software needs to be upgraded if I am to
continue using it on Windows 10. However, I do not print braille that much
so am wondering if the upgrade price of $500 is justified. I am looking for
a low cost, free or open source braille translation program. 
Ideally, I would like it to emboss to any embosser, support grade
1/grade2/UEB UK braille standards and have the ability to work with file
formats such as doc and RTF. It would be good if the program could also
print page numbers and take formatting in to account. The reason for
multiple braille standards support is in case I should ever need to print
documents for friends. Does such a program exist?
Many thanks in advance,
Mo.
