Re: [orca-list] Braille Grade 2

[Bill Cox <waywardgeek gmail com>]

I see that Luke already added this dependency!  Go Luke!  I love not
having to do work... This explains why a Vinux beta tester reported
that grade 2 Braille was working.  Can anyone else on  the Vinux list
confirm this?

Thanks,
Bill
