Susan, did you search for java SWIG?
I've been looking through the titles and thought there might be something of
use.

In the first place, I don't see how you can avoid spawning some separate
processes such as for printing and embossing. So you can't avoid that issue.
As for rewriting your translator in Java, I can see advantages. However,
I'm not familiar with any automated way of transforming C source to Java
although Google suggests such tools might exist. My guess is that even if
you could get something that worked, the resultant code would likely be
unreadable and unmaintainable and with none of the advantages of
human-designed Java code. Think how much trouble it is to convert print to
braille, which is a much simpler problem.
