Hi Kevin, It might be helpful to give at least one example of what your friend wants to do with the .dxb file. George Bell. -----Original Message----- From: duxuser-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:duxuser-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Kevin Cole Sent: 29 June 2006 20:31 To: duxuser@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [duxuser] Brief introduction. Hi, I'm a programmer at Gallaudet University, and am helping a blind friend who wants to massage a post-processed Duxbury (.dxb) file by "injecting" markup after the fact. Since I haven't worked with Duxbury files since 1978, I'm a bit rusty. And I imagine they've changed a wee bit. (grin) Also, the specifics of what he's trying to do are a bit vague, but I imagine we'll get down and dirty with it as we get further along. I gather this is the list for deeper understanding of the files and other technical details. These days my OS of choice is Linux -- Ubuntu and Red Hat, and my language of choice is Python. (See the signature for my editor of choice.) Later all... -- Kevin Cole | Key ID: 0xE6F332C7 Gallaudet University | WWW: http://gri.gallaudet.edu/~kjcole/ Hall Memorial Bldg S-419 | V/TTY: (202) 651-5135 Washington, D.C. 20002-3695 | FAX: (202) 651-5746 "Using vi is not a sin.
