Ok, update and correction. I have updated the softcon mac unix page to show the version of nfbtrans I compiled for use on osx. Unfortunately, my ppc machine died on me earlier this year, so it's not ppc compatible, though the source should compile cleanly for anyone using a ppc mac), and it does have both i386 and x86_64 versions of the nfbtrans program, in effect it will work on any intel based mac. I added a copy of nfbtrans774.zip to the nfbtrans_osx.zip file, just so folks can have the original as well as the mac osx specific version if they want it, and I don't have to worry about my version being separated from the original, and causing other issues. It is a terminal program, and there are no scripts or shortcuts included, so anyone using it will need to open a terminal session to make it work properly. I'll see about getting an apple script written to give it a gui folks can be comfortable using, but no promises on that. :-). The url to download it is: http://www.softcon.com/mac/unix/ and the direct url if you just want the files and don't want to be bothered with reading all about it is: http://www.softcon.com/mac/unix/nfbtrans_osx.zip Hope this helps folks, and I'll be available for questions if anyone has any. It's fairly straightforward though, so if you read the docs, you should have no problems using it. It's not something you can just run and get excellently formated results from, it will require a bit of work to produce commercial quality braille, but it's definitely possible, and after you get used to it, it'll become second nature. hth.
