Yes, I'm a little confused by this too. We need to sort it out. Probably today.
We can't have people viewing the braille as produced by nimas.cfg and then
producing the brf file using different settings and/or semantic actions and
styles. So, editing using nimas.cfg and then embossing using preferences.cfg is
not an acceptable solution.

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.
