file for the Mqac. I can certainly find out.

Hi, I know that john is a linux user, and I know he's aware of the
mac. Most of the testers and other developers are on windows though.
As far as I know, I was the only mac tester at the time I was involved
with the project.

Actually Eric I'd like to correct your statement just a bit the main
developer is a full time Linux user who develops this on Linux and does
have access to a Mac. I'll touch basis with them and if people are
alright I'll send a few of these emails out to their mailing list and
see what comes of this.

In defence of braille blaster, it's only been a going concern
for a year and a half. They're trying to support three
operating systems. They had no funding at all lat time I was
in touch with the project. And, most of their user base and
contributing developers are using windows as a primary os. If
there are mac people here with java experience who can
contribute to the project, we'd all appreciate it. Best, Erik

Good Day: Indeed. This program appears to be quite prone
to crashing. I realise that it is open-source and thus not
meant to be perfect, but I don't think it's yet ready for
stable use. The exception thrown by the program that you
copied below occurs, I think, when it pops up a dialog
stating that "the braille facility is not available,"
whatever that means, and when you indicate that you don't
want to continue. Even when I did get past that, when I
tried to launch the tutorial from the help menu, it did
open safari, but it also crashed the java runtime
environment. Perhaps I should send an email to the
developers to see if they're still planning to work on
this. For now, though, I wouldn't use it for production
use. As for Louis, it is free, but I've had very little
luck getting it to translate complicated documents--it
keeps giving me blank braille files. It does, however,
have the virtue of being significantly more stable and
might, based on comments from other people who have used
it successfully, be able to translate your document if
it's simple enough. Perhaps someone more experienced with
the program could give you better help in that direction.
