Hi,
I'll try it via VS2008 (I have 32-bit machine).
Cheers,
Joseph

Subject: Seeking someone to compile 32-bit version of NFBTrans
NFBTrans is a free, open source braille translator available at
http://www.nfb.org/nfb/nfbtrans.asp
The last version released is a 16-bit process, so will not run on 64-bit
Windows. I am looking for a C programmer who can compile a 32-bit
version using the included source code. The distribution does include
make files for Unix-like systems, so my hope is that the code is written
in a portable enough manner that a skilled C programmer would be able to
recompile it for platforms of today without much difficulty.
Can anyone do this via MinGW, or if not, with another C compiler? I
would gladly post an updated distribution for anyone to use freely.
As an option in the Open Other Format command, Control+Shift+O, EdSharp
uses the existing NFBTrans for back translation of .brf or .brl files
into plain text (e.g., books downloaded from BookShare or NLS). This
does not work on Win64, however.
