Hello, I have stubs for the Grade 2 routines for BRLTTY almost ready. At this point, all they will do is eliminate extra blanks. Tjhis in itself will make reading faster, since more will fit on the display. There is one small problem. What do we call the routines? The nearest I can come is to include some version of the word "contracted" in the names. Dave Mielke has suggested putting this question on the list. You can send responses directly to me at mailto:director@chpi.org Thanks. John -- Computers to Help People, Inc. http://www.chpi.org 825 East Johnson; Madison, WI 53703
