Check out the anonymous ftp site at "handicap.shel.isc-br.com" which
contains ONLY disability-related software and information.  One
of the over 50 directories is just for screen and print enlargers
("/pub/large").  There is an master index file in "/pub/index" and
each directory contains an index file called "00-index.txt".  This

(I have uploaded many of these to SIMTEL20 as well in the msdos.handicap
directory.)
