Mary,
  Yes, currently, Vocal-Eyes is the only screen reader which is capable
  of loading in expanded or extended memory.  Once loaded in either
  type of memory, Vocal-Eyes 2.0 only requires 4K of DOS RAM.

If you have a 286 or 386 with 1meg or RAM, chances are the extra 384K can
be used as extended memory.  On a few machines however, that memory can
not be used for anything.  I would guess you could load Vocal-Eyes in
extended memory with no problems.

Great,
  I will be at the NFB convention but Dan will be at the ACB.  The Vocal-Eyes
  manual is available in Braille from third-party vendors.  ARTS has just
  told me he is capable of selling the manual.  As for the price, I am
  not sure.  The Vocal-Eyes manual is rather large.

Every product we develop and sell contains the manual in large print, on
audio cassette tape and on disk.

I hope I have answered all your question.

Regards,
  Doug
