John and Keith,
I am getting really confused here.
John, you said that the nimas.cfg file isn't meant for direct embossing, yet
it is now the default configuration file for BB. I thought embossing was the
main purpose of BB. If that is no longer true, what is the program being
changed into?
Shouldn't we be able to open a document in BB, even using the nimas.cfg
configuration file, and emboss what we see in the Braille preview? I thought
the Braille preview showed exactly what was going to be sent to the
embosser.
So when embossing from the command line, do we now have to specify the
preferences.cfg file as the configuration file every time? Shouldn't it be
the default for command line embossing?
I would appreciate any clarifications on this. Thanks.
Best regards from Ohio,
Vic

nimas.cfg is not intended for direct embossing. It produces utd.
preferences.cfg should work, however.
