[BRLTTY] Windows First Run

[Oriana Neulinger]

Hello Dave,

I never received your reply to this post in my email, so i apologise for
the late response.

How long should we allow the debugging program to run? Is it possible that
there is no log generated if it gets stuck in a loop while searching for a
USB device?

Given that the debugging program runs, and the regular program does not,
can the debugging program be used on a longterm basis instead of the
regular program?

Thank you.
