It was compiled with the msvc 64-bit compiler, so it is 64 bits. I imagine that I can get a 32-bit version by setting the right flag. Does anyone know what that is? What does c14n mean? This libxml2.dll does not contain iconv. That is because porting libiconv to Windows turned out to be a big hassle. The source directories are set up in a really weird fashion. Omissionn of iconv may mean that liblouisutdml will be limited to UTF-8. This may not be a significant limitation. The compilation of liblouis is still having trouble with the library libcmt It says it can't open it, not that it can't be found. What might be a solution to this? Once I get liblouis-2.dll I'll be able to get liblouisutdml.dll and everything will be ready for BrailleBlaster and whoever wants to use the libraries on Windows. Porting of new releases will also be easy. I am keeping in mind the difficulties with the special directory for Mac-osx and willl do my best to avoid them. Thanks, John -- John J.
