[nfbcs] Reading technical bookshare books on a Braille display

[John J. Boyer]

I download the Daisy text only zipfile, extract the xml and then use 
liblouisutdml on my own machine. The brf files from bookshare are 
unsuitable. Of course you have to know how to compile liblouis and 
liblouisutdml. I am also using Linux. I don't know if this is any help.
