No, 8 dot braille means computer braille. 6 dot braille actually means grade I braille. This is still braille with conversions, just not grade II contractions.
A .brf or .brl file is a file which uses ASCII computer symbols to represent grade II braille. Performing any literary braille conversion on the file, whether grade I or grade II, renders the file unusable. A few examples of conversions in grade I literary braille include: numbers are letters with the number sign immediately preceding the letters, the number 1 is the literary braille comma, 2 is semicolon, 3 is colon, and so forth.
