,
I would like to urge you to put a version of this announcement on the
gui-talk list run by the National Federation of the Blind. Although 's of
the people on the JFW list are on that z also, you will find people on
that list using all kinds of readers. Also, the NFB has a technology
department and runs a huge international technology center. I think I
wrote something to you yesterday about this, but I am again urging you to
get on that list. If you would rather write something up and have me post
it, I will be glad to do that. Thank you for your work.
Sincerely,
Evelyn
