John, I can't think of what I would use it for now, but it sounds like a good idea. I would love it if you could come up with something like lou_allround for Windows, but I know that would be too much work.

Boyer Sent: Thursday, July 26, 2012 11:03 AM To: brailleblaster@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [brailleblaster] Doing multiple subcommands without restarting Right now, BrailleBlaster is restarted for each subcommand. It might be convenient to be able to type multiple subcommands, such as checktable, without having to go through the java -jar Brailleblaster.jar process for each one. This idea was prompted by the need to do multiple translate commands without reloading to find some bugs in the file2brl method. Multiple subcommands would be activated by placing -mult after brailleblaster.jar This could then be followed by the first subcommand. BrailleBlaster will then execute this and show a prompt for the next subcommand. When you have done all of them you would type exit at the prompt. What do you think of this idea?
