John,
Are we nearing another public release? Just let me know when you want new
DLLs made. I haven't built recently because of all the stuff going on with
liblouis. I didn't know if the DLL would be stable yet.
Best regards from Ohio, U.S.A.,
Vic

I'm glad to hear that the installer works. I'll let the author comment
further on your comments. The .bat files won't be in the next release.
I'll just ask for 32-bit dlls, since I can make the 64-bit ones.
John
