Actually I half-meant that file. Apparently Dave moved what
was previously in README.first.txt (see in archives on
http://brl.thefreecat.org/brltty/) into README.txt. Apparently this
new README.txt does not point to sourcesforge.net as the source for
installing the libusb filter for the brltty-win-5.2-1-libusb.zip case
(in the brltty-win-5.2-1-libusb.exe case, the filter installation
option is proposed during installation as well as in the start menu, as
documented in README.txt). That's what should get fixed, please see with
Dave.
