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...
