Hi Carl,

I have the Magherc large print display program if your client or
friend can use it. It goes up to eight times magnification and only
requires 41 K of memory to keep in memory. I have been using it
with other aids and find it quite a good program.

Magherc is a Shareware program and the authors price is extremely
reasonable, and is definitely a program that should be supported by
it's users.

However, Magherc, requires that the M S DOS computer have a
Hercules or Hercules compatible monochrome card and muxt be used
with a TTL monitor.  However, since new TTL monitors can be bought
for as low as seventy odd dollars and the Magherc program
regiytration fee is so low and resaonable, it is worth buying a
Hercules compatible card and TTL monitor, when you consider that
most commercial large print display programs cost 300 to 700
dollars!

Also, Magherc, will let your client, wordprocess, use terminal
programs to call BBS's or just about anything that is text based.
It is a nifty little program. So, find out if she has a TTL monitor
and a Hercules card in her set up.

I know what you mean about that Rehab red tape. My counselor talked
about getting some better assistive things with me, but since that
was long ago and I have never heard anything since, I guess she
meant I should get it by myself! heheh!

Keepin' the faith!
