[Pibe-division] fwd" bana announces adoptionof ueb in U.s

[Sally Thomas]

As you know, we recently moved to Australia which uses UEB for literary and
math braille.  My son has moved into UEB with relatively few problems.  You
are VERY lucky that you still have Nemeth.  The literary code is not too
different but the math code is very, very different.  That said, the change
has not been traumatic.
