Vic, Don't worry about the present instructions for porting the liblouis suite to Windows. They will soon be obsolete. I am working on using Microsoft's Visual C++ to generate the code. The necessary files will be in the repository and in the tarball. You will only have to edit a simple text file and then run a command. Meanwhile, there is a somewhat older zip file that contains a Windows port for 32 bits. Windows 7 64-bits will probably run it. You can find it on the downloads page of http://www.abilitiessoft.com John On Sun, May 08, 2011 at 08:59:11AM -0400, Vic Beckley wrote: > Hi all, > > I am totally new to LibLouis.
