Shawn:

We are using a program called EZBraille that we own to do the
translation. We don't have any plans to change translators anytime soon.
 As for Book Port not showing up as an option, I have no idea what would
cause that or that it even has anything to do with us.  If I had to
hazard a guess, perhaps it is being blocked by a fire wall, but I don't
know.  I asked our programmer and he doesn't know either. 
Congratulations!  You've stumped him, which is pretty difficult to do. 
Sorry, I don't have a prize to award you.

Hi,
What Braille reverse translator is used to put brf files on the
bookport? I think nfb trans might be a good choice as it is public
domain, and it removes page numbers when reverse translating. This at
least used to be the case. Kurzweil uses it in their product, so it
could probably work here. 


    On a different topic, I have been using bp transfer for several
days now, and find that the send to bookport option from windows
explorer is not visible, but the shortcut is in the sendto folder. I do
not have this problem on my laptop, which has much more streamlined
context menus. What could be causing this problem? 
Any opinions thoughts or ideas, particularly from APH staff would be
appreciated. 
Shawn
