Chuck, I am still getting a similar error. I'm not sure if it is exactly the same or not, but here it is: Exception in thread "main" java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range: -1 at java.lang.String.substring(String.java:1911) at org.brailleblaster.wordprocessor.BBToolBar.<init>(BBToolBar.java:60) at org.brailleblaster.wordprocessor.WPManager.<init>(WPManager.java:91) at org.brailleblaster.Main.main(Main.java:55) Best regards from Ohio, Vic -----Original Message----- From: brailleblaster-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:brailleblaster-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Chuck Myers Sent: Wednesday, May 08, 2013 10:14 AM To: brailleblaster@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [brailleblaster] Re: BrailleBlaster error under Linux I think I fixed the paths in the toolbar. That leaves the zipper class. If there are others, please let me know. ________________________________________ From: brailleblaster-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [brailleblaster-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] on behalf of Chuck Myers [cmyers@xxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, May 07, 2013 11:36 AM To: brailleblaster@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [brailleblaster] Re: BrailleBlaster error under Linux This should be a relatively easy fix.

They should give the correct paths or all platforms.

It should be pretty easy to fix though I don't think any of us is using Linux yet. At least Chuck should be able to fix it so that it doesn't throw an exception. I'd suggest catching the exception and logging the actual path it is trying to use. > > > Keith Creasy > Software Developer > American Printing House for the Blind > KCreasy@xxxxxxx > Phone: 502.895.2405 > Skype: keith537 > > -----Original Message----- > From: brailleblaster-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > [mailto:brailleblaster-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of John J. > Boyer > Sent: Tuesday, May 07, 2013 9:22 AM > To: brailleblaster@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: [brailleblaster] Re: BrailleBlaster error under Linux > > Vic, > > Great news!
