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.  Thanks in advance
