John,
First I appreciate that the US tables are undoubtedly the best, but are
they the best way forward for UEB?
Do we have access to a list of differences from BANA to UEB?
Maybe the Australians have one?
The reason I ask is the gb or SEB tables might not be 100% but are
pretty close, we have work at the moment checking this on a 'normal'
book, but experience so far is very good, only picking up foreign words
and problems with apostrophes and quotes etc.
But we do have a good list of differences between the codes, so with a
table expert, which I'm not! it should be quite easy to modify the SEB
(gb) tables to UEB.
I still haven't got a working latest liblouisudtml in windows, which has
been the delay for us.
I'm going down the DAISY pipeline2 route and have latest betas to test
this week, which I hope to do today or Monday.
If you can access a good list of differences for US to UEB, then of
course that would be the best approach!

Hi Joseph,
Great work. I think that trying to fix the UEB grade 1 table would be
more work than modifying en-us-g1 for UEB. The en-us tables contain a
lot of knowledge that the persons who made the UEB tables didn't have.
From what I know of UEB largesign opcodes should be replaced with always
joinword should be replaced with word or maybe deleted.

Hi folks,
Attached is the revised UEB table based on en-us-g2.ctb. For consistency, I
named the file as "en-ueb-g2.ctb".
In the first part:
. Modified the header to add my email address and wrote the fact
that this table is for testing purposes only. Also declared that this table
is based on en-us-g2.ctb.
. Removed "ally" and "ation" contractions, as they are not needed
anymore.
Just curious: are there any problems with uebc-g1/g2.ctb? If the problems
are severe, then starting from scratch would be a good idea, with the basis
for these tables coming from en-us-g1/g2.ctb.
Thanks.
