Keith,
Exactly what folder structure is required? Does the temp folder go inside
the brlblst folder? I wasn't going to try this until it was straightened
out, but I can't resist!
Best regards from Ohio, U.S.A.,
Vic

You might try using %LOCALAPPDATA% but it is working for me.
I had to create the sub-dirs "brlblst" and "temp" by hand though.
I'm pretty impressed actually. Now Trying to get my head around creating a
TOC.

Keith,
Thanks for your patience and testing. I fixed the error and then tried
running BrailleBlaster. It looks like there is a permissions problem with
using the Windows appdata\roaming folder. When I run BrailleBlaster from the
command line it appears to work, but the translate item will not work,
because it can't write a temporary file. After BrailleBlaster terminates
there is an exception trace saying that the log file could not be opened
because a lock could not be obtained.
How do other applications get around this?
John
