* Turbo Braille for Linux V0.4 @ Charles Hallenbeck ` Gene Collins ` Kirk Wood 0 siblings, 2 replies; 9+ messages in thread From: Charles Hallenbeck @ UTC (permalink / raw) To: Speakup Distribution List I just replaced version 0.3 with 0.4, which you may download with this URL: http://www.mhonline.net/~chuckh/tbrl-0.4.tar.gz It compiles without warnings now and has a lot of "clode cleanup" over the previous version, but should be functionally about the same - no new features. Sorry I left it dormant for so long - I got busy with a Linux upgrade, then with a new machine, and then with a couple of other heavy duty projects. Those interested in Linux braille translators should probably check in with the linux-braille mailing list. I was involved with that list for a time, but - well - you know how it is. They mostly wanted perfect products and I mostly wanted braille.

I'm a long time Turbo Braille fan, and just want to express my thanks for your work in porting it to linux. I find it makes an excellent print filter for on the fly Braille translation during print jobs. Again, thank you very much! Gene Collins ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 9+ messages in thread

As for "perfect products" - there is a point where you have to decide whether you want to (1) offer something that does a major part of the task well, or (2) hold out until you can guarantee to do 100% of the task plus anticpate additional requirements that might arise in the future. I guess if I were designing a system to take people to the moon and get them back safely I would opt for (2), but translating braille is a hell of a lot easier and lots less risky!

It's even more interesting how some folks draw conclussions about other people's motives, and come on a list dealing with gnu licensed software and whine about making money. If you like Windows so much, go write software for it and have at it. And lest I be further misunderstood, I did by Turbo Braile when it was a commercial product, and would again today. It's a fine piece of software. The fact that Chuck has chosen to make it available under Linux, and I thought it appropriate to express my thanks is none of your concern. Your assumptions and implicit holier than thou attitude offend me, get lost! Gene Collins > >Hi Kirk - >Well actually I earned my nickle off of TBRL when it was a DOS alternative >to MegaDux!

* Re: compiling lynx ` compiling lynx randy turner @ ` Geoff Shang ` Charles Hallenbeck 1 sibling, 0 replies; 9+ messages in thread From: Geoff Shang @ UTC (permalink / raw) To: speakup Hi: I compiled lynx with ssl. It was a chore and a half. You need to have the relevant ssl libs installed (the patch should tell you all you need to know). Getting the customisable defines to work for other stuff, however, was a major headache I eventually gave up on. I'm glad there's a debian ssl-enabled package now. Don't know if there's a slackware one though. Geoff. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 9+ messages in thread

I went back to my 2.8.2 version, but would be very interested in the solution to this one.

After months of training, the father drop commented to the mother drop, "We've taught our boy everything we know, he's fit to be tide." After Snow White used a couple rolls of film taking pictures of the seven dwarfs, she mailed the roll to be developed. Later she was heard to sing, "Some day my prints will come." A boy spent years collecting postage stamps. The girl next door bought an album too, and started her own collection. "Dad, she buys everything I've bought, and it's taken all the fun out of it for me. I'm quitting." Don't, son, remember, 'Imitation is the sincerest form of philately.'" A young girl, Carmen Cohen, was called by her last name by her father, and her first name by her mother. By the time she was ten, didn't know if she was Carmen or Cohen. Against his wishes, a math teacher's classroom was remodeled. Ever since, he's been talking about the good old dais. His students planted a small orchard in his honor, the trees all have square roots. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 9+ messages in thread
