Put that filename in quotes.

Most folks just specify files without the drive letter.

Take care,

Subject: [brailleblaster] Problem with BrailleBlaster on Windows

I have set up BrailleBlaster so that if a file name is given on the 
comand line right after the jar file it will open that file. This was 
done so that files with the extension .utd (UTDML file) could be 
associated with BrailleBlaster and would open automatically. However, 
when I tried this on Windows with the file name 
c:\brl-books\emphasis.xml the file would not open because the 
backslashes had been removed. Doubling them resulted in single 
backslashes in the file name, but this defeats file association. What is 
the workaround for this?

Thanks,
John
