What's the latest version of tbrl? I have 0.5 and switched back to the DOS
version which I found to be less buggy.
I came across a message from Chuck once while doing a Google search that
said, in very small part, "They want perfect braille; I just want braille."
So, it produces readable output, but it needs a human to make it pristine.
The thing I like about Turbo Braille, both the DOS and Unix versions, is
that you can produce an intermediate file that you can edit to end up with
as glorious a translation as your knowledge of braille rules will allow. I'm
sure one can do this with nfbtrans too but as far as I know you do it by
mucking around with the source document (ie, copy it to a separate folder
and then edit it) which amounts to pretty much the same thing I guess. It's
whatever you learn best...
