Susan,
Thanks for the link. I've been looking for something like that.
Certainly I will concentrate on getting BrailleBlaster to work well with
Daisy. I'm just collecting information for the future.
BrailleBlaster will also have the capability to convert various
non-daisy files to Daisy via xslt. Many word processors can now produce
xml if asked. Word does. liblouisutdml can handle its format now.
