[BRLTTY] A few loose ends

[Lee Maschmeyer]

Hi all,

Because I'm not sure whether documents are made during the install
process from an SVN update I went to Documents and did a `make'. Just
wanted to be sure I was looking at the latest manual. Then I looked at
Manual-BRLTTY/English/BRLTTY.txt.

1. brltty-ctb is not mentioned. It still refers to ctbtest. I think
some of the text in this section is obsolete. For starters, it
mentions the -h option but not the -H one. "Correspondance" is a
misspelling, isn't it?

2. When running brltty an appropriate text table for me is picked up
somehow. But when running brltty-ctb I get all question marks if I
don't specify a text table. This seems inconsistent.

3. The brf text table is especially recommended for brltty-ctb. I
think it would be better to recommend the use of the same text table
that brltty itself uses. The purpose of the brf table appears to be
that you can read a brf file without those annoying dot 7's. But
brltty-ctb translates computer braille into contracted braille and you
don't want to translate a .brf file! I just tried it and the results
are ghastly.

4. Another problem with brf.ttb is that it isn't language-specific and
text tables nowadays are.

Have fun :-),
