 BS> Thanks for the information, Don.  Will this program be an

Well it would be a separate program at this point because it is written
for OS2, not MS-DOS. I don't know what the MS-DOS version will actually
be like, but I think it might be a new release of screen reader itself,
but I have no bassis for that.

Can it

 BS> Speaqualizer, Artic, etc.)?

Well I am sure that IBM will at least support every synthesizer they
currently support with screen rreader. The speaqualizer would not be in
the picture since it needs no software to run, no software on disk that
is.

Can you divulge the name, or is 
 BS> the development still at the non-disclosure stage?
At this point it is being called "pm explore" pm being presentation
manager.
