[nfbcs] Reading BRF Files

[nancy coffman]

Perky Duck is freeware from Duxbury systems. It is meant for use with Braille files & may allow page navigation. It wants 6 dot entry & does not translate. It is worth the free try.

No I have a Focus 40 Blue. I have looked for standalone windows or Mac programs. I can certainly use NotePad but there is no book marking capability or efficient page flipping capability. I would be open to adding a note taker if it had the functions I mentioned.
I believe I may have left out page turning in my previous note. An efficient way to quickly turn pages would also be ideal. By page turning I mean  turning or advancing forward or backwards  a standard Braille page.
