Index Number: 14663 I am quite interested in any utilities you might have to increase access to our machines. We are a network of Sun 3's and Sun 4's, running Berkely Unix. I am also curious as to whether anyone has developed software for low-vision users which would work on our X-Windows terminals. Thanks very much!

A person I work with here has some vision problems due to diabetes. She's found the font specifications which can be changed via the .Xresources file to be quite helpful; she uses a big font. Also, reverse video (-rv to many utilities) has been helpful to her. You might consider contacting Sun about this sometime, not enough people do so they haven't put much thought into it. Their disability adaptations program is run out of their Education Marketing Dept. by Connie Brobeck, cjh@corp.sun.com, 415-336-0814. -- era@ncar.ucar.edu
