Well, like I said I can poke at it. If it's going to be a huge issue it's not going to happen, at least not from my end. But if it requires an hour or three, I don't mind putting in the time to help someone (and possibly a few others as well).

Quite frankly, I think that trying to make nfbtrans a 32-bit application would be more time-consuming than you think and would distract you from your other projects. There is something to be said for focusing on what is most important to you. John On Fri, Jul 01, 2011 at 12:17:39PM -0600, Littlefield, Tyler wrote:Steve: I'm not really sure what you're aiming at. I could probably take a peak at nfbtrans though if it would help you. I use c/c++ on a daily bases, so it shouldn't be to dificult. On 7/1/2011 12:10 PM, John J. Boyer wrote:Steve, Thanks. For anyone else who mayh be reading this thread, BrailleBlaster could use some experienced Java programmers. We are using SWT to create the interface, because it is accessible out of the box on multiple platforms. Experienced C programmers would also be welcome to help with some of the modules in liblouisutdml which is the braille translation engine for BrailleBlaster. These modules are currently only stubs. They are transcribe_chemistry, transcribe_music and transcribe_graphics. Thanks, John On Fri, Jul 01, 2011 at 12:26:48PM -0500, Steve Jacobson wrote:NFBTRANS is written in C. It is my understanding that besides changing compiler options, one needs to look at all of the pointer definitions as they don't always translate from 16-bit to 32-bit. Since John Boyer is also on this list, I would like to make it clear that I would not want to take resources or time away from John Boyer's Braille Blaster project which is in the process of creating a much more modern and flexible open source braille translation solution.

At first, we heard that it would be simple to recompile it, but there is more to it than that.
