ViewPlus has a braille copy of the Marburg rules but it took months to get
it. And we are not sure we can get another copy within months. Does
anybody on the list happen to have an electronic copy? We can help with the
German, but getting the rules is turning out to be extremely frustrating.

Christian,
The people at ViewPlus are trying to get me a braille copy of the Marburg
math code. Maybe this information will help them. Meanwhile, I'm working on
the UK math code, which is similar.
The tables from Christian Waldvogel look good. Perhaps we can work together
on a Grade 2 table and have all of them ready for the next release. I'm also
looking for the bug with the capsnocont opcode that he found.
