- Great news everyone, I was able to track down a solution for the
- Unix environment. It is still in the developmental stages, but
- Dr. Ephraim Glinert of RPI (Troy, New York) has been working on a
- software solution to enlarging the unix-based graphical user
- interface. (NSF is funding this work (good work!!!!), so I have
- cc's for those of you working with and for NSF who also helped me
- track down this information.)
-
- He has been given the addresses of EASI member (especially Dr.
- Norman Coombs and Dr. Harry Murphy). I encouraged him to write
- EASI about his work since so many of us could use a solution on the
- unix platform. I hope he is able to make a presentation at the
- next CSUN convention as well!
-
- Again thank you all for your help in this research. I have over
- twenty or so notes which contain your suggestions and comments.
- Dr. Glinert will speak for himself and his work, but I an thankful
- someone has been diligently working on this major problem. (Now
- someone needs to tackle the speech-synthesis output solution for
- these machines.)
-
- Thanks again for all your help in this matter!
