Version 1.0 updated Made possible by Timothy Wynn (TW)

• Moved to github by Ken Perry

• Adds Utf8n.exe from Jamal Mazrui's EasyEncode project. This executable takes an input, and reencodes as UTF-8 without the leading byte order mark (BOM). This executable is necessary to add UTF-8 reencoding functionality to send-to-braille. (TW)

• Modifies lt.bat and lt1.bat to use the UTF-8 encoded file from Utf8n: (TW)

  1. Creates a temporary UTF-8 file in the %temp% directory.
  2. Runs the conversion command, passing through the UTF-8-encoded file rather than %1.
  3. Deletes the temporary file.
