Hi Greg. If you corresponded with me, I have no recollection of it. I would like to see this happen, but I don't remember any discussion with you. I am the first to admit that I am not a programmer. I appreciate your offer, and it would be useful for compiling and testing nfbtrans, but I have no idea how to set up a script that would produce Braille files on the fly. Also, you said that it would be very hard to create Braille output because of the many formats involved. I couldn't disagree with you more on this. All Braille needs is plain text. Currently, nfbtrans won't work with other formats except text and a few language source code files. Simply pipe the 7-bit plain text through nfbtrans and don't worry about the format. My understanding is that even a master xml format will still have a 7-bit equivalent. For non-text, just don't offer a Braille option. There is probably a way to translate mathematics, but I am not aware of it with nfbtrans and it would add complexity because the .pdf or .tex would first need to be converted to 7-bit ASCII. I think that if nothing else, PG should offer Braille output just because the motto is that the files should be able to be viewed by anyone with any equipment. In many ways, literary Braille is similar to very old formats in that it is only plain text and is all upper case. Yet that is still what many blind people use, including the US Library of Congress. I have a question. How is it that you come to the conclusion that most blind people already have Braille translation software? I have read stats that no more than 12% of the blind can read at all. Of those, I would guess that not many have the computer knowledge to use a command line program such as nfbtrans. It is still a DOS-based program unless you want to compile the sources under Linux. I am not sure if development is still being done. I am not currently aware of an official download site but I can check into this if this is something that we're willing to move ahead on. I would be happy to look at the Linux server Greg is offering, but again I am no programmer so unless it can be done in a one or two line script, I'm rather helpless. Also, nfbtrans has many, many command line switches. It is designed to format Braille books, so offers facilities for running headers, table of contents, etc.
