DOTSYS III is a COBOL program for the translation of English text into standard English braille, also known as grade 2 braille. Text in foreign languages or English may be transliterated as grade 1 braille or "computer" braille. The program's method of operation together with instructions on using the program, modifying or extending the translation heuristics, and transferring the program to a new computer environment are presented. General understanding of computer programing and braille translation would be helpful, but no special knowledge in these areas is presupposed. (Author/CH)
