Hello,

a zip-file with a Visual C++ application (windows forms app) is attached,
which I have used to try the dots input with Cygwin-compiled BRLTTY.

After starting BRLTTY and then the program, press 'i' and then 'a' to
initialize BRLAPI (see method Form1_KeyPress in file Form1.h to see how it
works). Then press 'd' to output dot patterns, 't' to output text, 'g' to
test for braille input. This I have tested but it did not work, as
described.

My intention is to start a thread (class BrlThread in file SAPI-test.cpp)
which constantly waits for braille input and delivers it to other threads
of the application. The attached version of the app doesn't start this
thread, however.

I haven't got the braille terminal any more, which I used for the test.
Maybe I can lend it again soon, to try the new brltty-win-4.3-x.exe

Greets, Thomas Marquardt
