Are you sure that BrailleBlaster is actually closing?
If you do not get returned to a prompt it indicates it is still running. Check that there is not a BrailleBlaster window open somewhere, I have had errors in the past where it returns focus to the command window rather than a BrailleBlaster window.

Sorry, that didn't make a diference. I'm wondering if the display might
be getting terminated in some way.

Ok, I haven't used Cygwin, let me see if I can do a build with it.
This is something I might not be able to get back to you until tomorrow,
though.

I'm probably in the best position to debug the crash in DocumentBase ,
but this glitch prevents me from reaching it. Here is more information.

I am using Cygwin . It comes with Java, ant and everything. I added the
line

newNotify (fontPath);

just before the one that displays the not found message. The font path
was correct. However, when I pressed OK I was put back in the console
window with a cursor and no prompt. It is actually the Notify class that
is failing.

Next I tried the old BrailleBlaster. No problem. There is something in
newdesign that causes the failure.

Incidentally, if I could get to the crash in DocumentBase I would use
Notify to display the paths to the various files, particularly to the
configuration file.
