Re: gnopernicus and festival are working for me

["John J. Boyer" <director chpi org>]

Chuck,
This is great news. I'm expecting to get a contract to write a progbram in 
Gnome, so having Gnopernicus working would make things a lot easier. 
However, i also need it to work with my Braille Lite 40. Where can I find 
doocumentation on writing Gnopernicus braille drivers?
Thanks.
John
