While perusing the BRLTTY and BrlAPI web pages, I ran into several issues (see below). No guarantees, but let me know if some editing assistance would be welcomed.
-r # The BrlAPI Programmers' Reference The "Documentation" page (http://mielke.cc/brltty/documentation.html) contains a link (The BrlAPI Programmers' Reference) to: BrlAPI 1.0 http://mielke.cc/brltty/doc/BrlAPIref/index.html The page in question appears to be rather dated, even though it was generated by Doxygen. Also, all of the img (image) links are broken. # BrlAPI Reference Manual ## Broken Link The link from the "How to make applications accessible?" page (http://brl.thefreecat.org) for the BrlAPI "reference manual" (on http://brl.thefreecat.org) gets a 404 (Not Found) error: Not Found http://mielke.cc/brltty/doc/BrlAPIref-HTML/index.html ## Printing I dislike reading manuals from a computer screen, but I couldn't find an easy way to print the manual. Am I missing something? FWIW, a "text" version of the manual is available at: http://mielke.cc/brltty/doc/Manual-BrlAPI/English/BrlAPI.txt However, it is essentially unusable, due to peculiarities such as: 11.. IInnttrroodduuccttiioonn _B_r_l_A_P_I is a service ... ## Updates? The only version of the manual I could find is almost a decade old: BrlAPI Reference manual V1.4, December 2006 http://mielke.cc/brltty/doc/Manual-BrlAPI/English/BrlAPI.html Meanwhile, the BRLTTY Download page says The current production version of BrlAPI is 0.6.5 (June 28, 2016). Clearly, the manual needs updating. Would someone be willing to supply me with additions and/or changes? Where do the current sources reside? # BRLTTY Download page The download page contains no descriptions of the downloadable files. The extensions (eg, apk, exe, rpm, tar.gz, tar.xz, zip) hint at the file formats, but I see no indication of the contents. For example, which archives subsume which other ones? Several of the archives are only available in rpm format, which is specific to a particular version of Linux. It would be nice to have tar.gz or zip versions available, as well. -- http://www.cfcl.com/rdm Rich Morin r...@cfcl.com http://www.cfcl.com/rdm/resume San Bruno, CA, USA +1 650-873-7841 Software system design, development, and documentation _______________________________________________ This message was sent via the BRLTTY mailing list.
