[macvoiceover] Re: NFTrans questions for Cheryl?

Hi Keith.

Here are excerpts from the readme file re: extensions. As to your other questions, when you see the window you will find there are various choices for device output files; it's a popup menu. I can't answer your printer questions as I only make files and don't have a printer; had an old versapoint for a while but it died. I think the way it is set up in the gui you could do basic printing but if you wanted a lot of formatting commands you'd still have to use the command line or a nfbtrans.cnf.

From the readme:


Limitations: NFBTRANS can only translate from ascii text. It cannot
convert binary files such as those produced by Microsoft Word unless they
are first converted to ascii text. The text may have lines of unlimited
length and they may contain extended graphics characters.



Files with .arc, .arj, .com, .exe, .obj, .qwk, .zip and .zoo are considered
binary files and are not translated.
Files with .asm, .bas, .bat, .c, .cpp, .h, .mac, and .pas are considered
program files and are output in non-standard computer braille.
.brl files are output in grade two with formatting enabled. .prt files are
output in 80 column format standard computer braille. .man files
are considered unix man pages and are output in non-standard computer braille and
block paragraphs.
.fmt files are output in Grade Two with formatting enabled and no file and
date printed at the top of page one. Blank lines within two lines of the
bottom cause nfbtrans to go to the next page.
All other extensions are translated to Grade two with formatting enabled.
