Well, first of all, there are these things called threads, guys, instead of
spawning heavy weight processes.
Just a thought ...
Ta ta
Take care,

In the first place, I don't see how you can avoid spawning some separate
processes such as for printing and embossing. So you can't
avoid that issue.
As for rewriting your translator in Java, I can see advantages. However, I'm
not familiar with any automated way of transforming C
source to Java although Google suggests such tools might exist. My guess is
that even if you could get something that worked, the
resultant code would likely be unreadable and unmaintainable and with none of
the advantages of human-designed Java code. Think how
much trouble it is to convert print to braille, which is a much simpler problem.
