Hi Brandon,
BrailleBlaster compiles nicely in Cygwin, but to get proper operation I
have to launch it from the Windows cmd prompt. I still get the "braille
font not found" message and then a cursor in the console window.
However, alt+tab gets me to a BrailleBlaster window. There may be more
than one of them open. The one I saw last said tab untitled . Ctrl+tab
took me to the tree iew. Another took me to the text view, etc. In the
untitled window I was able to open a file. The open was successful,
because when I pressed alt+F4 there were messages from liblouisutdml
about new entries in appended_html.sem . The tree view showed only a 0.
Arrow keys had no effect.
