Vic,

The conversion modules are in the liblouisutdml subdirectory. Look for 
files begining utd2 They will be automatically included in the Windows 
build. If you compile the dll and use it inBrailleBlaster you might see 
some improvements, depending on what features you are using. For 
example, page headers and footers will now be centered, but you probably 
aren't using them.
