Hello,

I have written a Windows Forms Application with Visual C++, to test BRLAPI
and MS speech API. The output of text and braille to the terminal and the
speech output with SAPI are working.

But input of braille characters does not work. When brlapi_readKey (0,
&key) is called, it always returns 0, and when I call it with wait == 1,
it does never return.

I had already written a Win console app, also with Visual C++, and here
all works, output as well as input. I don't know what could make the
difference. BRLTTY is the same in both cases (compiled with Cygwin), and
the same braille terminal (Handytech Braille Star 40) is used, and the
brlapi_... functions are called in the same way.


I have attached the log file by BRLTTY. A difference is the line:
"brltty.exe: read : Connection reset by peer (connection on fd 3)"
which was not present in the log file from the console test app.
