Greetings! I don't know that I'd use the program, but I understand the usefulness of combining volumes and removing a lot of extra blank lines. Why does the program convert uppercase to lowercase, though? (I'd typically want to know what's capitalized and what's not in a book or magazine.)

Hello, I have developed a program which makes books from the BARD website of the National Library Service braille display friendly. It does the following: Combines all volumes into one file; Converts upper-case to lower-case; Eliminates extra blanks at the ends of lines; Skips more than 1 blank line. The conversion program is written in C, so it should work oo Windows. The command line for it uses the Linux cat command. I don't know of anything equivalent on Windows.
