I found that both the 16-bit and 32-bit versions of NFBTrans produced identical versions of the file founding.txt from founding.brf. I configured EdSharp to do do some reformatting with .brl files, which are now converted by liblouis, but EdSharp does not do anything to alter the output of NFBTrans. I thus think this is an NFBTrans issue, though it might just be a setting that I did not configure correctly when installing NFBTrans for redistribution. If anyone happens to know the program well enough to address whether this problem can be resolved, please inform.

I noticed that too. is that an edsharp deal? or nfbtrans. On 7/2/2011 7:13 PM, Alex Hall wrote:I don't know about ctrl-shift-o. I just went and found a brf file (an unpacked Bookshare book, as it happens) and hit enter on it. I received a .txt file of the same name opened in edSharp. The only problem I see right now is that each line is only a few words long, even when I maximize the window. Still, at least brf files are readable on win64. Thanks!

Would one or more others using Win64 please test and confirm that Control+Shift+O will now convert a .brf file to text? To anyone who does not already have EdSharp but may be interested in trying it, the installer is available at http://EmpowermentZone.com/edsetup.exe Jamal On 7/2/2011 6:38 PM, Littlefield, Tyler wrote:Jamal: Thanks for that. I threw nfbtrans.exe into the edsharp directory under nfbtrans and off it went. Converted perfectly. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/10204868/NFBTR774.7z There is the link for the new archive. I included the new executable, as well as the sln and vcproj files that visual studio will need to build the single nfbtrans.c.

Hope it can be used for testing. Jamal On 7/2/2011 6:20 PM, Littlefield, Tyler wrote:It looks like I have this done a lot sooner. Do I just need to dump this in my edsharp directory to test? will someone send me a .brf file that I can try this out with to see if it does, indeed work? There were some asm functions (which were declared in the asm file), called sound, nosound and delay. I wasn't really sure what those did, so I just wrote c replacements. sound plays the beep (at a duration of 250 ms), nosound toggles a flag that is checked for beeps, and delay just calls sleep. I have a ton of warnings, but I'm aiming for this to just work on a 64-bit system.

There aren't to many issues I don't think so far, except the fact that a lot of the function calls (utime etc) are no longer in windows. I'm yanking the code with older functions and writing drop-in replacements to do exactly (hopefully) what the old functions do, so hopefully it will work with minimal modifications. I'll post later with progress and/or a working copy sometime this week.__________ View the list's information and change your settings at //www.freelists.org/list/programmingblind
