Hi Vic,
Certainly the tools could be ported to Windows. I just proted the
library because that is all that aplications need. I have too much to do
right now to extend the Windows build to include the tools. checktable
should soon be abailable through BrailleBlaster. That is the most
important one. Lou_translate would be simple to implement in Java and
might be available as a BrailleBlaster subcommand if there is interest.
The others are quite complex.O
