- No, I wouldn't agree with that. I simply think that the PC Master
- software should not have been released until it was ready. I know
- I have been a bit tough on IBM and their Screen Reader, but at
- least I am told by those who saw it at the conventions that the
- product is very impressive. On the other hand they are obviously
- holding up it's release to make sure most of the bugs are out.
-
- I got a copy of PC Master from Blazie, the only difference between
- the copy I got and a registered copy being the absence of the
- registered user file, and it worked great as long as I was doing MS
- DOS commands; but when I tried to read the PC Master documentation
- using Ralph or Readit either one, the program froze and I had to
- reboot. Was I out of memory? No, there was about 520K free before
- attempting to run the reader software.
