Thanks for all the info. Once we figure out the library-linking problem
with liblouisxml and get xml2brl working we'll have a command-line
braille transcription program that can produce as good or better results
than Duxbury. Then someone can use Visual Basic or another high-level
language to create a gui that will call xml2brl with appropriate options
and also give access to the liblouis tools.
Thanks,
John
