Voice of Vision
Volume 1 Number 2 -- October 1993

Voice of Vision is a quarterly newsletter published by GW Micro and
is available in several formats.  Format and price information are
given at the end of the magazine.  Each issue of VV includes GW
Micro announcements of interest to users of Vocal-Eyes, Sounding
Board, Term-Talk, Braille-Talk, etc.  Of greater interest, however,
are the product reviews, new product announcements, tips for making
systems or applications more accessible, or explanations of
concepts of interest to any computer user.

This issue includes a review by Bill Holton of two on-line
dictionaries and the first in a series of articles on memory
management by Jeff Pledger.  Doug Geoffray has contributed a short
article on our new bulletin board and Mike Lawler reviews MS-Kermit
for modem users.  We also have our usual helps and hints and
general announcements.

TWO DISK DICTIONARIES
by Bill Holton

One of the main reasons I purchased my CD-ROM drive several years
back was so I could use Microsoft's Bookshelf.  As a professional
writer, I needed to have access to a dictionary, and the CD-ROM
version of the American Heritage Dictionary gave me this.  The down
side was that the device drivers and TSR software required to run
Bookshelf hogged so much memory, I couldn't run both Bookshelf and
my word processor together.

Recently, I have discovered two new dictionary software packages,
both of which will run from a hard drive and one of which will
actually run from a 720k floppy.  They will both run TSR, and one
includes a Thesaurus and some pretty powerful search capabilities.

PC DICTIONARY-10

How many times have you looked up the word "cat?"  What about
"house," or "zoo?"  These are words you don't normally look up in
the dictionary...which is why you won't find any of them in PC
Dictionary-10.

The developers of this software have taken the 4,000 most common
words in the English language and removed them from their
dictionary database.  They shortened the definitions of the
remaining 64,000 words, and the result is PC Dictionary-10,
available from Edicom Systems.

PC Dictionary-10 comes on two-- count `em, two!--360K floppies.  It
is a breeze to install, and you can run it either stand-alone or
TSR.  After activating the software, all you have to do is type in
the first several letters of the word you want to look up, then
press ENTER.  A short, concise definition of your word will pop up
in the PC Dictionary-10 box.  From there you can page forward or
backward to previous or next words in the database.

There are several good things to be said about this software
package.  First, at $50, it is relatively inexpensive.  It is easy
to install, and for those persons using a laptop PC with no hard
drive it can be run from a 720k floppy disk.  It will run TSR, and
is fairly well-behaved with other TSR programs and device drivers.

Now for the bad news...

The dictionary displays its output in a box.  You can use your read
box hot key to read this box, but there will usually be several
words and their definitions on the screen--the one you looked up
and the next several words in the dictionary database.  There is no
cursor on the screen, nor is your word highlighted in any useful
way.  This can result in a lot of unnecessary and unwanted chatter.

The definitions you will find when you look up a word using PC
Dictionary-10 are not the most comprehensive.  For example:

cite          v. To refer to specifically.

tremendous    adj. Awe-inspiring.

an additional problem with this software is that the TSR version
does not allow you to remove it from memory.  I spoke to one of the
developers about this problem, and he promised to fix it and get
back to me, but that was the last I ever heard from him on this
matter.

THE RANDOM HOUSE WEBSTER'S ELECTRONIC DICTIONARY AND THESAURUS

When Word Perfect Corporation purchased Reference Soft, makers of
Grammatik, also in the deal they wound up with a software package
called The Random House Webster's Electronic Dictionary and
Thesaurus.  This is a disk-based dictionary/thesaurus, containing
definitions for over 180,000 root  words and 275,000 synonyms and
antonyms.  The software lists at $99, but I have seen it discounted
as low as $50.

Like the PC Dictionary-10, the software will run stand-alone or
TSR.  This, however, is where the comparisons end.

The Electronic Dictionary and Thesaurus (EDT) is not just a
dictionary.  As is obvious from its name, it also contains a
thesaurus, but that's not all!  The package also includes a
hyphenation guide, word pronunciations, word origins, and some
pretty powerful search capabilities, which I shall describe
shortly.

First, regarding the software's installation:  A complete
installation requires over 8 megabytes of hard disk space.  If this
is a problem, the setup offers you the opportunity to pick and
choose among the various options:  Dictionary, Thesaurus, Word
origins, etc.  The installation is quick and easy, and there is a
separate program you can use to change the TSR hot keys from their
default settings.  There is also a batch file called EDT.BAT that
will facilitate easy loading of the TSR version of the software.

With the EDT software loaded TSR, from your word processor, all you
have to do is place your cursor on the word in question and press
the dictionary hot key.  The dictionary definition will pop up,
with your cursor positioned on the first letter of the word.  You
will be given hyphenation information, pronunciation information,
a complete definition and, if available, a bit of the word's
history.

Still not satisfied that you have a complete grasp of the word's
definition?  Simply press the F3 key and the word's thesaurus
listing will pop up.  The thesaurus listing will generally begin
with your word used in a sentence or two, followed by any number of
synonyms to choose from.  Is there a word in the thesaurus listing
you don't know?  Simply cursor down to it and press F2 and the
word's dictionary listing will pop up.

Going back and forth like this, it's possible to get lost and
forget the word you were originally looking for.  The Electronic
Dictionary and Thesaurus can help you here, too.  Simply press the
"History" key and you will be given a listing of all the words
you've looked up in your current EDT session.

Here are the EDT definitions for the same two words I earlier
looked up in PC Dictionary-10:

cite [1]  ( sIt)  v.t. <cited, citing>
1.   to quote (a passage, book, author,
     etc.), esp. as an authority.
2.   to mention in support, proof, or
     confirmation; refer to as an
     example: He cited instances of
     abuse.
3.   to summon to appear in court.
4.   to call to mind; recall: citing my
     gratitude to her.
5.   to mention (a soldier, unit, etc.) in
     official dispatches, as for gallantry.
6.   to commend, as for outstanding
     service or devotion to duty.
7.   to summon or call; rouse to action.
     [1400-50; late ME < LL citare to
     summon before a church court; in
     L, to hurry, set in motion, summon
     before a court, freq. of ciere to
     move]
     Derived words  --cit_able,
     cite_able, adj.    --cit_er, n.
     cite [2]  (sIt)  n.

tremendous (tri men_duhs)  adj.
1.   extraordinarily great in size,
     amount, or intensity: a tremendous
     ocean liner.
2.   extraordinary in excellence: a
     tremendous movie.
3.   dreadful or awful; exciting fear;
     frightening; terrifying.
     [1625-35; < L tremendus
     dreadful, to be shaken by, ger. of
     tremere to shake, quake; see -
     OUS] Derived words
     --tremen_dously, adv.
     --tremen_dousness, n.

As you can see, the EDT's definitions are--shall we say?--a bit
more complete than those of the PC Dictionary-10.

Besides the dictionary and thesaurus, the EDT also includes the
ability to do wild card searches for words.  Entering d?g will call
up a list of all words that begin with "d," contain one middle
letter and then end with a "g."  Entering d*g will call up all
words that begin with "d" and end with "g," no matter how many
letters they have.  And if you happen to misspell the word you're
looking up, EDT will provide you with a list of possible
alternatives from which to choose.

Want to cheat at Scrabble?  Use the EDT's anagram feature.  Enter
your letters and let the Electronic Dictionary give you a list of
all words that use your letters.

In addition, as mentioned earlier, the EDT offers some powerful
search capabilities.  You can enter a word and call up a list of
all words that include your target word as part of the definition. 
Or you can use the AND, OR, and NOT operators to narrow your
search.  For example, enter painter AND french and the EDT will
give you a list of 53 French painters.  Searches can be
case-sensitive if desired, or nested using parentheses.

RECOMMENDATIONS

If you are using a laptop with no hard drive and simply must have
a dictionary, the PC Dictionary-10 might be for you.  For all
others, I would highly recommend you give serious consideration to
the Electronic Dictionary and Thesaurus.  It runs well wit screen
access software, and dollar for dollar it is one of the best
software values I have seen in quite some time.

MS-KERMIT 3.13 INSIGHTS 
by Mike Lawler

Speech compatibility Rating: 10

Ms-kermit 3.13 is a terminal emulation program produced as freeware
by Columbia University.  This program is extremely speech friendly. 
All functions of this program including the command entry prompt,
terminal emulation mode, help system, and the dialing directory
feature talk with no modifications to Vocal-Eyes.  Ms-kermit also
includes a powerful script language which facilitates a large
amount of customization for the dialing directory as well as
several other features.

Ms-kermit's main drawback to most users is that it is not menu
driven and it doesn't have a fancy interface.  It does provide
on-line and context sensitive help facilities.  For example
ms-kermit has a terminal emulation feature that is similar to the
Vocal-Eyes type writer bell feature.  If you wanted to change this
feature's setting at the "ms-kermit>" prompt you could enter "set
terminal margin-bell on".  You could also enter "set te mar o." 
Finally, if you weren't sure of the exact command to change this
feature you could enter "set te?" and ms-kermit would respond with
"use one of the following words in this position:  Terminal" so you
would know that the first part of the command was "terminal".  You
could then enter "set terminal mar?" and ms-kermit would respond
with "use one of the following words in this position: 
Margin-bell."  This feature known as context sensitive help is
highly useful, especially for a program as powerful as ms-kermit.

Ms-kermit supports several types of terminal emulation including
None, Heath-19, Honeywell VIP7809, VT52, VT100, VT102, VT220, VT
320 (default), Tek4010, PT200 (Prime), D463 or D470 (Data General). 
Ms-kermit also supports the tcp/ip protocol both with ethernet
boards and slip connections.

Ms-kermit supports the kermit file transfer protocol.  The user
also has the option of adding other external protocols such as
xmodem or zmodem.

Ms-kermit 3.13 is provided with a sample phone directory.  I wrote
my own phone directory before one was provided with the program,
but I would feel just as comfortable using the provided directory.

In conclusion, I feel that ms-kermit's greatest strengths are that
it is very friendly to screen reading programs, it is free, it has
excellent terminal emulation, and it has an excellent script
language that allows for a large amount of customization by the end
user.

Memory and Memory Management
by Jeff Pledger

This is the first in a series of articles which we hope will
clarify a lot of confusion and misconceptions about memory and how
to put things where you want them.

As we, blind/visually impaired computer users, come to use more
sophisticated and powerful computers, there is the greater need to
understand what memory is (in terms of our computers) and what it
is all about.  It is only when we comprehend memory and utilize it
efficiently that we will get optimal performance out of this tool
known as a computer.  Well, what exactly is memory all about to the
computer?  This question in itself is a paradox in that the word
memory is simple to state yet complex to describe.  I hope in this
series of articles to explain computer memory and to depict it in
layman's terms so that even a novice computer user can comprehend
it.

The first part of memory to discuss is what is known as
conventional memory.  This is sometimes known as "DOS," "low" or
"main" memory.  It is the first 640K of memory that resides in the
computer, and is where DOS (Disk Operating System) normally
operates along with your other application programs.  This memory
should not be confused with the memory needed to store either DOS
or any other application program on your hard disk.  The memory
needed to do this function is commonly called "hard disk storage"
or "core" memory.  An application program can be defined as any
program which operates on the computer taking up resources, like
memory.  Examples are word processors, spreadsheets, databases,
scanners, speech access programs, etc.  I think you get my point.

In the IBM world of computers there is a part of memory you as the
computer user normally cannot access.  This memory is known as ROM
(Read Only Memory).  Examples of ROM memory functions are the Basic
Input Output System (BIOS), video ROM, and disk controller ROM. 
The main reason you can't play with this memory is that you can
possibly disable all or a part of your computer if you don't
understand what you are doing.  This area known as ROM is located
in certain areas between the 640K conventional memory area and the
1 Meg extended memory area.  ROM is usually slower than RAM because
the memory chips used for ROM can not be accessed as fast as the
memory chips used for RAM.  In later articles, we'll discuss how to
move this ROM memory and re-map it to faster memory known as RAM.

As I was saying, faster memory known as RAM (Random Access Memory),
takes up the remainder of the conventional memory area.  However,
RAM is not limited to this one area.  It can be further broadened
to what is known as upper, Expanded (EMS), and Extended (XMS)
memory.  DOS memory as was stated earlier is memory from 0 to 640K. 
Upper memory is memory between 640K and 1MB.  Expanded memory is
accessed using a continuous 64K chunk of upper memory.  Extended
memory is all memory after 1Mb.  This first 64K of extended memory
is very special.  It is also referred to as the High Memory Area
(HMA).  It is important to note what each of these memory areas can
do for you as a computer user.  Upper memory is an area where
device drivers for your computer can be loaded.  An example of the
type of driver which can be loaded in this area is a network
control interface driver.  Expanded memory is normally used to
store information.  WordPerfect can use expanded memory to reduce
disk access.  Finally, memory managers exist for 386 and better
computers that allow parts of extended memory to be mapped into
holes between the top of conventional memory at 640K and the
beginning of extended memory at 1 Meg, otherwise known as upper
memory, that allow programs to be loaded "high."

Extended Memory is an area of memory where an application program
like a word processor, database, etc. might allocate some of its
resources for file management to work more efficiently.  This type
of memory is limited to what you have left on your machine after
1Mb.  When you hear someone talk about their machine having 8MB of
RAM memory and a 120Mb hard disk, they actually have 640K of
conventional, 384K of upper memory and 7Mb of extended memory to
run application programs and a 120 Mb hard disk storage device to
store any applications.  Now it would be nice if you had the
unlimited use of accessing this extended memory for whatever you
desire.  Unfortunately, DOS does not allow you to do this and that
is a fact you must live with.

In order to fully optimize your computer and use this upper,
expanded, and extended memory, you must use a program known as a
memory manager.  Microsoft DOS version 5.0 and later provides you
with HIMEM.SYS and EMM386.EXE for free to manage each of these
areas.  There are also other memory managers.  Two of the more
popular ones are 386-to-the-max and Quarterdeck Expanded Memory
Manager (QEMM).  I use QEMM version 6.02 and will be discussing
this memory manager exclusively in later articles.  At the time of
the writing of this first article QEMM version 7 has just become
commercially available.  I will have a product evaluation and
discuss some options of using QEMM to optimize your system.  Well,
that's all for now, folks!

NEW BOOK ON ADAPTIVE TECHNOLOGY FOR PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES

Joe Lazzaro, Watertown Massachusetts, is a Vocal-Eyes user and
works for the Massachusetts Commission for the Blind.  His new book
is briefly described below.

Adaptive Technologies for Learning and Work Environments by Joseph
J. Lazzaro is a 250 page guide on how to adapt personal computers
for persons with disabilities.  The book concentrates on using
computers to access information, which is critical to top
performance in the office or the classroom.  The book is intended
for individuals with visual, hearing, motor, and speech
impairments.  

The text can instruct individuals as well as office administrators,
rehabilitation professionals, librarians, managers, teachers, human
resource professionals, computer consultants, network
administrators, and anyone else who relates to persons with
disabilities.  Managers and supervisors who need to provide
adaptive technology to comply with the Americans with Disabilities
Act (ADA) will find much useful information within the text.  For
organizations concerned about inexpensively complying with the
Americans with Disabilities Act, the guide will inform and instruct
you about the myriad adaptive technologies that are difficult to
locate--technologies that are being employed today at home, school,
office, and public facilities.

The book spotlights and explains devices that verbalize and magnify
the computer screen, printers that print hard-copy braille,
paperless braille displays that read the computer screen, computers
that read printed books aloud or talk on the telephone, even
devices that command computers through the spoken word or Morse
Code.  The text also discusses how to turn an adapted personal
computer into a virtual library of information by linking with
local area networks, accessing online databanks, or using compact
disk reference systems.  Included are lists of bulletin boards,
online services, CDROM providers, as well as public access Internet
sites.  The book also describes how to analyze the needs of
disabled users to provide the appropriate assistive technology, as
well as how to furnish training and technical support.  Sources of
financial aid are also presented.  Throughout the book, more than
120 specific adaptive products are described as examples of the
innumerable devices available.  Practical, how-to-do-it sections
explain installation procedures and provide examples of how to use
different technologies.  Extensive end-of-chapter lists of adaptive
technology vendors together with extensive appendixes provide names
and addresses of useful resources.  These include organizations,
vendors, conferences, journals and newsletters, and programs that
can further assist in finding out more about adaptive technology
and its applications.  A subject and product index provides quick
access to the main topics within.

The book will be available in alternative accessible formats.  The
text is written in clear language, without resorting to jargon and
technical terms.

GW MICRO'S NEW BBS
by Doug Geoffray

In the last issue of the Voice of Vision, we mentioned we would be
setting up a Bulletin Board System, or BBS, on August 1st.  It is
nice to say we actually hit our target date.  We have dedicated a
computer and phone line to our 24-hour, seven-day BBS (219)
484-0210.

What is this board good for?  Well, if you want to download the
latest shareware game or debate Bill Clinton's economic plans, this
is not the board for you.  If you want to do any of the following,
you may want to give our board a call.

1)   Download the latest demonstration of any of GW Micro's
software such as Vocal-Eyes version 2.2.  
2)   Download upgraded software such as the Sounding Board 2.5 or
DECtalk PC 4.1C.
3)   Download the latest .SET files for application programs such
as Quicken, Paradox, DBase III, and others.
4)   Upload your .SET files you created for certain application
programs.  Why not share your hard work with others.
5)   Ask questions about any of GW Micro's products.

These are a few of the things you can do by calling our BBS.  The
board is capable of communicating from 300 BAUD to 14400 BAUD. 
When you first call the board, you will be asked several questions
about your preferences.  Once you answer these questions, they will
not be asked again.  The next time you call, all you will need to
do is type your name and password.  The board will check to see if
you have any messages since the last time you called.  If you do,
you have the option of reading them immediately or skipping them
for now.  If you skip the reading or are finished reading them, the
following menu will be displayed.

Main menu
Press one of the following keys

V to download Vocal-Eyes demo version 2.2 with documentation
S to download all available .SET files for Vocal-Eyes 2.2
O to download the latest issue of the Voice of Vision Newsletter
N to download Noteworthy demo version 1.3 with documentation
C to download Calcworthy demo version 1.3 with documentation
L to download LPDOS deluxe demo version 5.1A
B to download Sounding Board version 2.5 software
M for message areas
F for file areas
G Goodbye and log off system

We tried to place the items of most interest on the main menu.  If
you want more specific files or other files not even listed, you
can press "F" to be placed in the file areas.  There are eight
areas to choose from (Vocal-Eyes, Voice of Vision, LPDOS, DECtalk
PC, Noteworthy, Calcworthy, Sounding Board, PKZIP).  Simply press
"A" to select one of these file areas and "F" to list all available
files.  You can press "D" to download any of the listed files.  You
can press "U" to upload a new file.  If you upload a new file, it
will not be listed in the file listing until we validate the file. 
The validation period takes approximately 24 hours.  We strongly
encourage you to upload relevant information, especially Vocal-Eyes
.SET files.

You can also ask questions and talk to other users by pressing "M"
from the main menu for the message area.  You can press "A" to
switch to the appropriate area and "R" to read the messages or "E"
to enter a new one.  The available areas are: Vocal-Eyes, Sounding
Board, Voice of Vision, Miscellaneous, and Apple II.  You can
direct a message to a specific person or to "all".  If you specify
a specific person, you can make the message "private."  This means
only that person will be able to read your message.

As most of you know, Vocal-Eyes 2.2 is now shipping.  If you want
to first look at a demonstration version, you can download it by
pressing "V" from the main menu.  After pressing "V", you will be
asked what protocol you want to use for the transfer.  All the main
protocols are supported such as Kermit, Xmodem, Ymodem, and Zmodem. 
Whichever one you pick, you must make sure your communications
software can handle that option as well.  I personally prefer
Zmodem since it is faster and easier.

We would also like to connect our BBS into BlinkTalk and InterNet. 
Both of these networks would broaden our base and make it that much
easier to access.

Feel free to call our BBS anytime.  Simply setup your
communications software for 8 Data bits, 1 Stop bit, no parity, and
a BAUD rate between 300 and 14400.  Our BBS phone number is (219)
484-0210.  This board is very new.  We are always interested in
suggestions.  If you see ways we can improve the board, feel free
to pass along your ideas.  When you press "G" to log off of the
system, you will be given the option to leave Crista a message
before you actually log off.  This would be the time to pass along
your ideas.  Crista Shaikh is the SYSOP or system operator for the
BBS.

We hope this new service will allow you to share your thoughts and
ideas with other users.  Please give it a try.

Hints for New Users
by Crista Shaikh

This regular column is intended to help users who are new to the
products discussed or to computers in general or who simply feel
they need more help than the manuals they have read have provided.

Question:  I want to use a particular program, but I can't read the
print manual.  How can I figure out how to operate the program?

Answer:  Of course, you can press the HELP key a lot.  This is
often F1, but may be F3, CONTROL-H, ALT-H, or any other key.  A
better answer is to call Recording for the Blind (RFB) to see if
they have recorded the manual on tape or have produced it on disk. 
They have an increasing number of titles available, including many
popular PC applications.  To order books, call 800 221-4792.  Also,
some software manufacturers will provide manuals on diskette upon
request.  Call the manufacturer directly to see if they've done
anything.

General Hints
Are you using WordPerfect 6.0?  Do you share it with a co-worker
who likes to use graphics mode?  WordPerfect now has a text mode
(that's what you want if you plan to use speech) and a graphics
mode.  You can tell WordPerfect as you run it that you want text
mode by adding the parameter /TX to the WP line.  When you are
ready to start WordPerfect, all you do is type

WP /TX

and press ENTER.

Are you using DOS 6.0?  Do you need to have ANSI.SYS in your
CONFIG.SYS?  Don't worry if you don't know what that means.  There
was a funny little problem with DOS 5.0 that continued with DOS
6.0.  At the DOS prompt, when you get to line twenty-five of the
screen, instead of hearing something like "C:\>" as your DOS
prompt, you hear "C C C:\>."  This repeating C is annoying.

Now there's a simple fix.  Edit your CONFIG.SYS.  You'll find a
line that says something like

DEVICE=C:\DOS\ANSI.SYS

Simply edit it to say 

DEVICE=C:\DOS\ANSI.SYS /R

and reboot your computer.  Press ENTER at the DOS prompt until you
get to line twenty-five and you'll discover that your repeating C
is gone!  Thanks to Microsoft for this fix.

Announcements
Yes, Vocal-Eyes 2.2 is shipping.  Some of the new features were
described in the last issue of VV and a few more have been added
since then.  If you're a Vocal-Eyes user and you've never used
float windows, you'll like what's happened to them.  They are many
times more usable than they were in Vocal-Eyes 2.11.  They are
easier to define and much, much more powerful.

If you purchased your original Vocal-Eyes in 1993, the upgrade is
free.  Simply call or write us and let us know whether you want
your upgrade on 3.5-or 5.25" disks.  If you forgot to register, be
sure to give us your serial number.

If you originally got Vocal-Eyes before 1993 and have version 2.0
or greater the upgrade will cost $20.00.  If you have version 1.0
or 1.1, the cost will be $95.00 and we need to have you send us one
original program disk.  If you send us a 3.5-inch program disk,
we'll send you a 3.5-inch upgrade, and likewise with the 5.25-inch
disks. 

If you aren't registered but you have Vocal-Eyes, call us with your
serial number.  We have a great many copies of Vocal-Eyes
registered to dealers, purchasing representatives, and
rehabilitation counselors and don't know who the actual end users
are.  You may be one of them.

GW Micro has added some new items to our catalog.  These include
The Romeo and Juliet Braillers from Enabling Technologies,
ZoomText, the Franklin dictionary, MegaDots from Raised Dot
Computing, a new DOS tutorial, and a new WordPerfect tutorial from
Arts Computer products.  Call us if you'd like a new catalog.
