[Nfb-science] cheryl: learning NUB system?

[Robert Jaquiss]

Hello:

     The NUBS evaluation form can be found at the following link:
http://www.brailleauthority.org/nubssurvey

More information about NUBS can be found at:
http://www.braille2000.com/brl2000/nubs.htm
There are pdf, rtf and brf files. This set of documents is very complete. 
Hope this helps.

Regards,

Robert
