John,
I thought of one more test I could run. This was on my 32-bit XP Pro VM
where I create the DLLs. The folders were created correctly there too.
Everything worked perfectly with the folders.
I did find another error, though. All you have to do is enter the following
text into BB and try to translate it.
This is line one.
This is line two.
This is line three.
You will get the following error. I saw this first on XP and then duplicated
it on 7 x64.
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String

Windows.
That is how I startBrailleBlaster if I want to see the exception trace.
I'm trying to find a way to have the GUI show a dialog box if something
bad happens.
