Hello,

I have developed a program which makes books from the BARD website of the National Library Service braille-display 
friendly. It does the following:

Combines all volumes into one file;
Converts upper-case  to lower-case;
Eliminates extra blanks at the ends of lines;
Skips more than 1 blank line.

The resulting files are NOT suitable for embossing.

This application was developed on Linux. The conversion program is written in C, so it should work oo Windows once it 
is recompiled. The 
command line for it uses the Linux cat 
command or type on Windows. I have a zip file  with the program and instructioons which I can send to you privately. 

John
