Nicolas,
Nice to see you on this list. I've just been reading the brltty manual.
I
also downloaded the complete brltty package, but what do you know. I'm
having trouble getting Windows to decompress it, even though the beast
claims that it can do so.
Thanks for all your answers and for your work on brltty. It is very
important for those of us who are deaf as well as blind.
