[Blindmath] BANA Articles on the Evolution of Braille

[John J. Boyer]

With computer translation of braille text and mathematics, one can have 
whatever code one wants or a mizture of literary and mathematical codes. 
I wonder what the rank and file of braille readers think of these 
attempts at "unification" by the various braille authorizing bodies. My 
opinion is that UEBC will just increase the multiplicity of braille 
dodes that are already in use for English.

For an example of a computer translation software pakage that can give a 
reader whatever braille code she wants check out
