My Windows is the same and has the latest updates. An update has caused
problems before.

Vic what version of Windows are you using getting the correct results for
directory creation? I just want to know incase John is having trouble
because of some odd windows7 issue.

John,

First, I translated a document with the translate subcommand. The brlblst
folder wasn't present. All the folders were created properly.

Next, I started BB with a filename on the command line. The folders weren't present. BB opened the document fine. The folders were created correctly. I
translated the file using alt-T, T and BB disappeared as previously. It
looks like this bug has crept back in. Here is the error that was present in
the command prompt window:

C:\Users\Vic\Downloads\BrailleBlaster>java -jar brailleblaster.jar serv.xml Exception in thread "main" java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String

C:\Users\Vic\Downloads\BrailleBlaster>

Lastly, I started BB without any options on the command line. The folders
weren't present. The folder structure was created just as it should have
been. I typed in some text and translated it. This worked and all the files
were created in the brlblst\temp folder.

Conclusions:
The file creation is working as expected here. Can you tell me how to break
it?
The bug of not being able to translate an opened file has reappeared.

subdirs() works on Linux but not on Windows. If you start BrailleBlaster
from the command line you can see the message about not opening the log
file, but the  path looks correct. The brlblst directory is not in
appData\roaming
