No msg 45551 Msg 45552 is 08 line(s) on 03/24/92 from KEVIN QUINN to ALL re: AID FOR VISUALLY HANDICAPPED A friend of mine who is visually handicapped has heard of an add-on to wordperfect called, I believe, "big for wordperfect". It evidently makes all characters, commands etc., appear in a very large font for the wordperfect program. It is supposed to be shareware, I believe and he was told that it was "available from most bulletin boards". I'm trying to help him find where he can get this program/utility. So far I've been un unsuccessful. Has anyone heard of this program/know where I can download it from? Msg 45553 is 08 line(s) on 03/24/92 from AL HIGGINS to KEVIN QUINN re: R/AID FOR VISUALLY HANDICAPPED I read another bulletin a while back regarding the same subject, however, I have never seen the product myself. I will be going to COD comuter fair next month and will take a look in the shareware programs. I'll also dig out my shareware programs catalogs and look there for you! Will drop you a line if I find anything.... Another thought... Call the lighthouse for the blind, they also handle the visually impared. Maybe they have heard of such a product... Good Luck Msg 45554 is 01 line(s) on 03/24/92 from KEVIN QUINN to AL HIGGINS re: R/AID FOR VISUALLY HANDICAPPED Thanks very much for your reply Al. Msg 45555 is 09 line(s) on 03/25/92 from ERIC BOHLMAN to KEVIN QUINN re: R/AID FOR VISUALLY HANDICAPPED It's from Hexagon Products in Park Ridge. They're at PO Box 1295, Park Ridge, IL 60068. Probably the easiest thing to do is get the registered version straight from them ($39). They also have Big for 1-2-3, B-Edit (large print text editor) and B-Pop ("review-mode" enlarger that will enlarge any display and let you pan around, but freezes application while popped up). According to their literature, the evaluation versions are available from Compu$erve as well as some shareware disk vendors. There's a BBS in Pittsburgh (BlinkLink, 412-766-0732) that probably has them, and when I get the COPH-2 BBS back up, I'll try to put them there.

I've never had any need for color (I tend to think it's a distraction in most cases), and the LAST thing I need is a fuzzy screen to go with it. What's the best dot pitch you've seen? I think I saw 0.25 on one machine. But given the price of much of this stuff, I don't feel justified in complaining/. I mean, remember when a 10MByte disk would set you back $800 or so -- controller not included? ON a more related side note -- what's the difference betwixt VGA and 'super' VGA? I have this sneaking suspicion from what I've read that 'super' is really 'infra,' but I dunno. No dup. chars. >Function:?
