[BRLTTY] [OT] Re: How do you read books?

[Lee Maschmeyer]

Shérab asked what lb is. Lb, just like Bless, is a program for displaying 
text files, including but not limited to Braille files, on the computer. LB 
stands for Less with Bookmarks. (Great minds think alike and so do ours.) LB 
is a suite of about ten Bash scripts, eight or so of them executable and the 
others called by lb to do special things it needs. It also includes man 
pages. They're in a .tar.bz2 file which I will send to those who ask for it. 
I spent about ten years developing these files, adding bells and whistles as 
I thought of or needed them. I use it all day every day to read books or 
other long files. It's been tested on Linux, Sun, Cygwin and Mac, and should 
work with few if any changes on any platform that supports Bash.

Anyone who wants to try it out can write to me at leemer1 at comcast.net. I 
hope you like it as much as I do. :-))
