linBMD

linBMD has been written to make it easier for Linux users to transcribe for the FreeBMD project. It is being developed in pascal using Freepascal and Lazarus.

All files produced by linBMD are saved in the directory from which linbmd was run. Even when opened from another location. Most files should open correctly, but bear in mind that winBMD files may need to be converted into Linux/Unix format first.

linBMD has been released under the GNU General Public License. It is therefore an Open Source application.

I am currently using it to transcribe for the KSH_Double syndicate. If you do use it please give me feedback. I would be very keen to know if you have any problems so that they may get fixed.

To send me feedback, please see the bottom of the page for details or use our feedback page.

Please see the linBMD manual for instructions on how to use linBMD.
