Re: [Latex-access-devel] NVDA

[Derek S. R. <Der...@co...>]

I'm about to go out of town this week so I won't respond until next
weekend! I will fix those (Oh, reason constants? Yeah, they were just
deprecated). I'm playing with doing a custom braille region. It's
complicated, because I have both NVDA's routing table and latex-accesses
routing table. I need to either use both one after another, or design a
merge routing tables algorithm.

Follow the build install instructions here.
