We have a braille printer that just prints each character as it sees it. Our blind computer science students are thinking writing a Grade 2 convertor so as to cut down on paper and have easier output that is easier to read. Question: Does anyone know if this has been done. If so where can we find it. What we would like it is the source, but if binaries are only available then it would be a start. This must run on a Vax running 4.3BSD or a Sun running 3.2 SunOS. There must be some other peple out there that has blind students in need of such a beast, but I have never seen such a product for Unix machines. I do not read all these sections all the time so I would appreciate if you would mail me directly. I will repost any answers that are positive back to the net.

It is not an easy thing to write, but I have written one. To avoid commercials, you may email me for more details. Cheers, Dan Ts'o Dept.
