Lee, please look at the documentation that is part of the liblouis tarball. It is called liblouis-guide.html and works nicely with lynx. There is a table of contents that links to the various parts. the translate program is a filter. It takes input from the standard input unit and delivers output to the standerd output. The options -f and -b signify forward and backward translation. Table is the name of the translation table. For example, you might write: <textfile ./translate -f en-us-g2.ctb >brlfile Hope this helps, John On Wed, Sep 14, 2005 at 02:28:36PM -0400, Lee Maschmeyer wrote: > Hi John, > > The usage message for the `translate' program is (from what I remember): > > translate -f|-b table > > It says nothing about the file to translate.
