Tara,
SDK stands for Software Development Kit.
This allows a programmer to write software
for a particular devices such as BrailleNote.

What is SDK, I am sorry for ignorance, and
what will it do?

One more thought on SDK's - has there been
any mention on, *if* it was
released, if it'd be a free product, or a
paid system? I remember
Blazie's developer toolkit was for pay, and
was in fact quite
expensive, which prohibited me from ever
experimenting with true C
coding for the Braille 'n Speak. I actually
would like to release apps
I write as free programs, but of course if
the SDK ends up being for
pay I will end up having to charge for my
apps.

I do have a few specific ideas for apps.
Some of my ideas might be
also in the minds of others, but I'm open to
competition :) I'm
considering some more "real" games (not that
Inform is bad, but I'm
thinking things like card games and such),
as well as some Internet
connectivity apps - an IRC chat program
would really make me drool. I
have actually coded an IRC client for blind
people - technically two,
since I wrote one, then abandoned it for a
second project - so I
understand the IRC protocol inside and out.
Along with this I'm
thinking some simple apps like a unit
converter and maybe a basic
check register with embossing capabilities.
I actually did an
experiment or two writing some very basic
apps in Inform and compiling
them to Z-code - and it works for simple
stuff like calculations and
so on - but it obviously won't come anywhere
near supporting complex
apps like an IRC client or a checkbook. A
card game might be possible
in Inform - it's one of my current test
projects. (Although I have to
first figure out what happened to my
presently dead BN.)

Dear Flint:
Welcome to the list from Ottawa in Canada.
Well since you have read the list archives,
you know Humanware
has not released an SDK for third-party
developers for the
BrailleNote/VoiceNote family of products.
For lack of anyone better to contact, I
recommend you write to:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
He is the group president and if anyone can
persuade Humanware to
release the SDK, it would be him.
Do you have specific programs you would like
to write for the
BrailleNote, or is it just a general
interest at this time?
Brian
