Ken,

I am thinking along the lines of our current Windows binary, but one 
that uses the free Microsoft compilers and can be run by anyone. Our 
present binary is fine, but it requires Mingw and msys, and there was a 
glitch with the last release that kept it from building. If you get the 
current binary from the downloads page of www.abilitiessoft.com you will 
see that it is a zip file that can be installed anywhere. It includes 
both liblouis and liblouisxml as Dlls, all the liblouis tools, and 
xml2brl. I would like to have something like the Windows build in xpdf, 
which I can send you if you wish. It has a .bat file that sets things up 
and runs the compilers.

Thanks,
John
