Item #4  EASI:  Equal Access to Software and Information
(An Affiliate of the American Association for Higher Education)
 
(Rev. 2-15-1995)
 
 
EASI'S mission is to serve as a resource to the higher education
community by providing information and guidance in the area of
access-to-information technologies by individuals with
disabilities.  We stay informed about developments and advancements
within the adaptive computer technology field and spread that
information to colleges, universities, K-12 schools, libraries and
into the workplace.
 
Our membership is composed of people from colleges, universities,
businesses and other institutions.  They include computing staff,
disabled student services staff, faculty, administrators,
vendors, representatives of professional associations, private
consultants, heads of both non-profit and for-profit
organizations, faculty and staff from K-12 schools, and students. 
 
People with disabilities must have the same access to information and
resources as everyone else.  EASI is dedicated to helping
that happen. The activities, projects and publications listed on the
next pages are designed to help institutions provide the
information and resources that people with disabilities deserve.

and other disability and computer topics.  The
second list is the library access list, called AXSLIB-L.  The
third list, ABLE-JOB,  discusses work transitions and job 
accommodations.  The fourth list, EASI-SEM specializes in the

and we invite Christians as well as nonchristians to join us.  If you
have questions about the Christian life, Crosstalk is available for such
discussions.  We attempt to make the Bible apply to every-day life on
Crosstalk.  We have no set times when the channel is open so check
often.  Normally we meet during the evening hours United States time but

different hours of the day and night.  To get there, type IRC UNDERNET

Item #15  Blind Newsgroup
I started a new newsgroup called alt.comp.blind-users"
I specified in the "For your newsgroups file:" area that it was for blind 
users to discuss adaptive technology.   So what do you think?  Was that a 
good idea?  I hope all the sites pick it up.  Write to your system 
administrator to make sure they pick up the newgroup.  I also posted in 
alt.config talking about it.  It will also help to have a lot of members 
they like the idea of the new newsgroup.

Item #25  Pretty Good Privacy
From: Harry Bartholomew bart@netcom.com
    For those who are not aware of it already, PGP stands for
    Pretty Good Privacy, an encryption program of excellent
    credentials and zero cost to individual users.  Encryption
    software, to provide true security against snoops, must be 
    run on one's own machine, not on a shell account in a "Unix"
    where anyone with root privileges can pry.

    For further information about PGP and security in general,
    you might enjoy browsing:

    Vince Cate's Cryptorebel/Cypherpunk Page
    ftp://furmint.nectar.cs.cmu.edu/security/README.html 

    The cypherpunks list is a forum for discussion about technological
    defenses for privacy in the digital domain.  It is an active mailing
    list for discussion.  To subscribe send mail to majordomo@toad.com
    with "help cypherpunks" as content. PGP-specific questions 
    might be more profitably asked in alt.security.pgp. 
    A short statement of purpose follows.
    Cypherpunks assume privacy is a good thing and wish there were more
    of it.  Cypherpunks acknowledge that those who want privacy must
    create it for themselves and not expect governments, corporations,
    or other large, faceless organizations to grant them privacy out of
    beneficence.  Cypherpunks know that people have been creating their
    own privacy for centuries with whispers, envelopes, closed doors,
    and couriers.  Cypherpunks do not seek to prevent other people from
    speaking about their experiences or their opinions. 

    The most important means to the defense of privacy is encryption.
    To encrypt is to indicate the desire for privacy.  But to encrypt with
    weak cryptography is to indicate not too much desire for privacy.
    Cypherpunks hope that all people desiring privacy will learn how
    best to defend it.

Item #33  Real Eyes
Real-Eyes is a computer user group for persons who are blind or visually 
impaired, and who live in the Kansas City, Missouri, area.  The group was 
started by 4 blind persons who were using computers in the workplace, and 
who wanted to share their solutions, problems and ideas about how they 
could better use their computers.  The group began meeting in July of 
1994 at the home of one of the members.  After meeting twice a month for 
2 months, the group decided to open to include amyone in the community 
who shared their interests and needs.  The group meets on the second 
Wednesday of each month at 5:30 to 7:00  at Blind Focus (a rehab training 
facility for the blind), and meets the fourth Wednesday of each month at 
UCP's Assistive Technology Center.  As might be expected, common topics 
include WINDOWS access, telecommunications, software, and hardware.  For

Item #34  The Trace Center
What is the internet and how accessible is it?

One of the newest files on the Trace Center Gopher and FTP
servers is entitled, "ON THE INTERNET."  It presents a brief
overview of Email, Gopher, FTP, and the World Wide Web, as well
as a number of strategies which might be used by persons who are
blind to access these applications.

The address is
trace.wisc.edu.

If you are coming in via Gopher, the path is
Trace Publications and Materials
Info-Curbcuts and Universal-Access Projects
Selected General Intro and Orientation Articles
More about Internet (also Gopher, Mosaic, Usenets, WWWeb)
On the Internet

If you are coming in via FTP, the path is
PUB/TEXT/CURBCUT/WORKING/INTERNET.TXT

For the convenience of those people without ftp, gopher,  or Web
capability, we have made this and other documents from the Info
Curbcuts project available via e- mail.  All requests for
documents or index information  should be sent to

listproc@trace.wisc.edu

If you would like to receive an index of what is  available at
any point in time, send the message

index publication

You will receive in response an e-mail that lists the  documents
currently available.  The listing will show the  file name for
each document, how many parts it is  comprised of, and a brief
description (so that you don't  have to try to determine which
document you want from the  short 11-character file name).

To request, for example, that the Internet document be sent to
you, send the  message

get publication internet.txt

The document will then be sent to you via  e- mail, as a series
of messages, one message for each  part of the document you
requested.

Item #35  Science engineering and math files on ftp site
EASI (Equal Access to Software and Information) now has an anonymous ftp site
where some of its documents are stored.
All of the materials from the EASI Street to Science, Engineering and Math
project have been duplicated on the EASI ftp server.

Below is a list of file names and a file title which gives a clue about the
content of that document.   This has been done to help our friends who do not
have ready access to the web.  We believe that the web site
http://www.rit.edu/~easi is the most convenient way to obtain these materials.

If you have materials that EASI should know about to add to our web and ftp
sites, please send mail to Norman Coombs nrcgsh@rit.edu

This file is named 00-contents.txt and new files will be listed here when they
are added to the ftp site.

Additional information.
From: Noel Romey ee87658@GOODNET.COM
Subject: Re: text games
  I have downloaded most of my games from the interactive fiction ftp site.
  there are hundreds of text games that work with speech or braille.
  Get them from ftp ftp.gmd.de /pub/if-archive/games/pc.

From: "J. Dashiell" dashiell@NADC.NADC.NAVY.MIL
So, you want text games.
Aim your ftp utility at ftp.gmd.de and fire!
More specifically, look in the directory and all directories under it on
that site called /if-archive.
This is where the alt.interactive.fiction newsgroup keeps all of
its archived game files and game designing and writing software too.
Also, after business hours only please!
ftp to linc.upenn.edu
and check out the /pub/nethack directory.
Just make sure to turn ibm_graphics off in nethack.cnf
file when you play that game and it will speak for you.
Nethack does have puzzles in it too but your character has to survive long
enough to get to them.  Have fun, and if you need more help with nethack
I've been playing it for a few years and may be able to offer some assistance.

From: Martin Courcelles martinc@SURF.PANGEA.CA
Subject: Re: Text games
    There is a very intteresting ftp site named ftp.gmd.de
    It has tons of adventure games and even an infocom interpreter with
Infocom like games.  I've even fixed an interpreter to work with speech.
It works great!  The only problem now is that I am addicted to the
games.  Mind you, what else is there to do in -42 degrees celcius
weather.  hhhhaaaa
Anyways, have fun.

From: Anthony Baechler baechler@CRL.COM
I am not selling anything, but this is a great source of mostly free
material, so here it is.  ftp://ftp.gmd.de/if-archive
This is about 140 megs of adventure games (interactive fiction) all
in one place.  Some is shareware, but almost all is freeware, and
quite a large portion comes speech friendly as-is.

3.  What is Project Gutenburg?

Project Gutenburg is a non-profit organisation, established
in 1971, dedicated to the production and distribution of
electronic texts (Etexts).  Project Gutenburg Etexts are
prepared by hundreds of volunteers and donations.
Our goal is to give away One Trillion Etexts by
December 31, 2001.

[We estimate that every title will reach 100 million people
by the end of 2001, so this goal would require publishing
10,000 titles.]

In an effort to make Project Gutenburg Etexts universal we
have ended each line with a "carriage return" AND a "line
feed" so a user on any computer can read them.  Macs require
a cf, UNIX machines require a lf, DOS machines require both.

------------------------------------------------------------

copy.   Many errors are corrected a few days before the
official release date.

****
FTPMail service which allows FTP requesta via EMail.   The address is:

If you want to get a file in this way try sending your equivalent of the
following message to the above address.  You don't need a subject.  If you are

lucky you will receive your etext by email.  I use Compuserve which has a 50K
maximum file size which is why I have to request my files broken
up into 50K chunks.

        connect 128.174.201.12  (this is the address of the ftp server)
        chdir etext/etext93   (this changes to the right directory)
        chunksize 50000       (this gives the maximum size file I can receive)

        ascii             (use "binary" if you want to get a compressed file)
        get wman10.txt    (this is the file name and file type of the etext.
        quit              (this is self-explanatory)

The Almanac Information Server, located at the Extension Service
at Oregon State University, allows text retrieval both through ftp and
email.

To retrieve a file via e-mail, first send the following line by
itself to almanac@oes.orst.edu

     send gutenberg catalog

This will instruct you how to send further requests, and will list
the available files.   For example, to retrieve _Alice's Adventures
in Wonderland_, send to almanac@oes.orst.edu

     send gutenberg alice

5.  Index of the first 100 Gutenburg Etexts

This is an index of the first 100 Project Gutenberg Etexts [gutindex.100]
It is no longer part of the Newsletters but will be independently sent.
The January, 1994 Newsletter will start again with the 1994 indices.

For now the 1994 Etexts are being stored in etext/etext93 so you can get
them more easily for Holiday Season gift giving.   In 1994 they will move
to etext/etext94.   For those who wish to volunteer early, we should like
to try to get the 200th Etext out by Thanksgiving, 1994, as we have seen
that a huge portion of you are rarely on the nets during the Holidays.

[A "C" following the number indicates a copyrighted Etext.   When we get
the permission to post a copyrighted Etext in our CDROMs, or on another
fee-based access medium, the "C" will be changed to a lower cased "c"].

You may note that by the standards by which we started Project Gutenberg
in 1971 that the following list contains closer to 300 Etext titles, for
we originally indexed each book of the Bible, and each Shakespeare play,
major poem, and the Sonnets, as a single file, most of which were larger
than our entire output for the 1970's.   By those standards the Bible and
Shakespeare alone represent nearly 150 titles [two Bible editions] and a
new Shakespeare is in the works.

One of these Etexts may be moved to an official February release, as we have
several teams working on something for release on Martin Luther King Jr. Day
This was Beethoven's 5th Symphony in MIDI format, now complete, for February.
You will need a MIDI card and program to play the Beethoven Symphony.
The MIDI files are BINARY files.   Please let us know if you have problems.

Item #46  Bitstream
From: Peter Scialli 72456.2140@COMPUSERVE.COM
Bitstream Returns
                           For Immediate Release
                                  1/3/96
     ShrinkWrap Computer Products is announcing the return of
Bitstream, a bi-monthly magazine for blind and other people who
are interested in accessible computer and other high technology.
     Bitstream will now take the form of a cassette based
publication and will be produced in the standard audio format at
the standard audio speed.  This is a change from the earlier
floppy disk format.  We at ShrinkWrap feel that audio cassette
will make Bitstream more available to more people.  It will also
provide a medium for delivering "live" demonstrations, interviews
and other interesting presentations.
     ShrinkWrap Computer Products is a vendor and consultant
dealing with a wide variety of adaptive products.  It is our
sincere intention to openly state our biases and affiliations
with respect to the information we present.  Bitstream on
cassette, like the earlier disk based version will not be an
advertising medium for ShrinkWrap.  We will welcome announcements
of general interest from all providers of adaptive technology.
     The main focus of Bitstream will be for the user of PC
compatible computer equipment who is employing speech or braille
access to the computer's output.  A heavy emphasis will be placed
on the access problems faced by the evolution of the graphical
user interface.
     The PC focus, however, will not be a limitation.  We will
actively encourage and welcome contributions to the magazine on a
variety of subjects.  These may include access to any sort of
information, mobility aids or even high tech tools or appliances.
We will avoid the area of consumer electronics.  Depending on
reader feedback, we may begin to include some features on amateur
radio.
     Bitstream on cassette will begin publication in March or
April, 1996.  It is essential that we get a commitment from a
core group of initial subscribers.  Six bi-monthly issues of
Bitstream on 90 minute tapes will cost $22.
     If you are able to subscribe using a credit card, the card
will not actually be charged until near the release of the first
issue.  It will, however, be very helpful to get an good
estimation of the number of subscribers we will have.
     If you would like to subscribe, you can call us at 703-620-
4642.  We can be reached via Electronic Mail at
"72456.2140@Compuserve.COM".  Our postal address is

     Thank you.
Item #47  ASAP now available via FTP
From: Robert Carter Robert.Carter@TAMU.EDU
At last it is now possible to ftp the popular Automatic Screen
Access Program (ASAP). The ftp site is ftp.scs.tamu.edu. Login as
anonymous and send your email address as the password. Type cd
asap to change to the asap directory and type bin to set your ftp
client for binary file transfers. If you want the complete asap
package get the file called asap.zip. This is a file that was
compressed with the pkzip compression utility from Pkware. A file
called testasap.zip contains the most recent beta test realease of
ASAP. This compressed file contains only the executable and brief
documentation. Finally, there is a self-extracting file called
asapdemo.exe. It is the same as asap.zip but is self-extracting.

Item #48  WWW access for Blind people
From: Patt Bromberger patt@SQUID.TRAM.COM
Url: http://www.inf.ethz.ch/department/IS/ea/blinds/

World-Wide Web Access for Blind People
**************************************
Introduction
============

'W3-Access for Blind People' is intended to make web-surfing easier
for blind people. Structure information in HTML documents is
transformed on the fly into a form, that can be read easier by
visually handicapped. We assume that the blind computer user is
already familiar with a screen reader and already working with a
W3-browser. Our approach works with every W3-browser and every
screen reader. No additional software has to be installed at the
user's computer.

We insert a transformer between the W3-browser and the W3-server.
The transformer modifies each document to reflect its structure clearer.
Fortunately, we did not have to build everything from scratch.

A proxy server was the ideal environment for our project. Thus
the CERN-httpd has been modified to provide this additional
functionality. The process of fetching a document has has 6 steps:

(1) The user activates a link and the browser sends the request to the proxy.

(2) The proxy forwards the request to the appropriate server.

(3) The server sends the original document.

(4) The original document is passed on to our transformer and transformed.

(5) The modified document is passed back to the proxy.

(6) The proxy sends the modified document to the user.

In our implementation, the transformer is not a separate piece of
software but integrated into the proxy server code.

Try it: If you want to feel the result, set you proxy
to http://ea.ethz.ch:8080, flush your cache and start browsing.

Documentation
=============

 o User's Manual
 o Perrochon, L, Kennel, A. W3-Access for Blind People.
   Handouts of a short presentation at the IEE Symposium on Data
   Highway, Bern, October, 1995.

   of the figures).

Releases
========

As a (blind) user, you don't have to install anything besides your
W3 browser and screen reader. Look into the User's Manual to find
out, how you can use this service. If you want to provide this service
to blind people, here's how:

Item #49 The Electronic IRC Church
The Electronic Church is a live chat group on the Internet Relay
Chat network, or IRC for short, and though it is open to the
public, many blind people frequent the channel.  Thus it is posted
in this part of the phone book in case any blind Christians want
to join us.  This chat group on the IRC is not for theological
debate but rather set aside for Christian fellowship.  It is also
not limited to just Christians but anyone interested in Christian
topics.  The channel also is supported by a mailing list by the
same name.  If you have never used the IRC before, you can see if
your internet provider supports the IRC by typing the following
command from your unix prompt.  irc irc.dal.net and if after a few
moments you receive a welcome screen, you will know you have
successfully accessed the irc system.  Once online, you type the
following command to enter the chat group.  /join #echurch and
press enter.  Note the slash before the word join and the number
sign before the word echurch.  The channel is normally active
during the evening hours United States time but can be opened any
time someone joins the channel.  If you have any problems
accessing the irc or if you need further assistance, feel free to
contact me via email and I will help any way I can.  Additionally,
if you want more information about the Electronic Church email
mailing list, let me know or check the lists.txt file included in
this phone book archive.

General information about Pine is available from
ftp://ftp.cac.washington.edu/pine/pine.intro
http://www.cac.washington.edu/pine/overview/
To join the Pine mailing list, see lists.txt of the phone book archive.

Item #51  Blind-Hams IRC
Basically, the story is this:  When I started the list, I set up a
channel on a small IRC Network, AnotherNet, to allow members of the list 
to get together on line, in real time, whenever they desired.  
Instructions for getting there follow.  Please note that they (the 
instructions) assume you are operating from a Unix shell and that the 
system you're using has an IRC client installed.  Things get a little 
trickier if this isn't the case, but for most people this should work.

From your shell prompt, type the following:

irc Nickname neato.org

Note that in this command, both irc and neato.org are in all lower-case 
letters, and should be typed exactly that way.  Case is not important 
where the nickname is concerned, just replace the word Nickname with 
whatever you want your IRC nickname to be--your first name or callsign or 
whatever.  The only requirement here is that the nickname be no more than 
nine characters in length (it can be extended to as many as 30 characters 
once you're on the server, but initially it needs to be kept short).  

Within a few seconds of sending this command, you should see/hear a 
message telling you that you are connected to the server, and the 
server's motd (message of the day) will begin to scroll by.  THis is just 
a welcoming message to the server and AnotherNet, reminding you of net 
policies, etc.  Generally speaking, there should be nothing there which 
it is absolutely necessary to hear--it's all pretty basic stuff.  There 
may also be a little bit of ASCII art at the beginning of the motd, so be
prepared to shut off speech if such things annoy you.  You really won't 
be missing all that much if you don't hear it.

Once the motd has scrolled by, type the following to join our channel:

/join #blind-hams

Case is not important here, but do note that there is a / (forward slash) 
immediately before the j in join, and it must be typed as part of the 
command.  Also, there is a # (number or pound sign) immediately before 
the b in blind-hams, and this too must be typed as part of the command, 
unless you're using an IRC script or client which makes it unnecessary, 
in which case you almost certainly already know about it.  

You should then see/hear a message telling you that you have joined the 
channel, what the channel topic is, etc.  From there, anything you type 
goes to the channel and is seen by whoever else is there.  The only 
exceptions to this are lines which begin with a slash, which the server 
and your IRC client interpret as commands to them.  

That's basically it.  ANyone on the list is more than welcome to use the 
channel any time they'd like.  You folks can decide for yourselves when 
and whether or not you want to use it, the point is that it's there and 
available if you do want it.

Item #52  Web Access Via Email
Web: Have-Not?
A quick aside here for those who don't have Web access, or those
who still think that HTTP stands for "high-tech toilet paper"...
You can access (almost) all the wonders of the World-Wide Web
using simple e-mail commands.

If you know the URL (address) of a document on the Web, you can
fetch it by sending a command to one of the WWW-mail servers
listed below:

Address, Syntax, Comments

agora@dna.affrc.go.jp
     SEND URL
          New Agora server in Japan

agora@kamakura.mss.co.jp

Item #56  Text Courses
From:CONTED@UWSTOUT.EDU
Thank you for your interest in University of Wisconsin-Stout's
online instructional offerings.  All of our BBS offerings (and the BBS itself)
are text-based.

The best way to learn about current offerings is to connect to
either our World Wide Web "home page" or directly to our instructional
Bulletin Board System (BBS) system.

o       To obtain offering information from our Web site, point
        your Web "browser" (Netscape, Mosaic, Lynx, etc.) to our
        "home page" URL (Universal Resource Locator):
        http://major.uwstout.edu
        If you use a text-based browser (such as Lynx) all of the
        material will be accessible to your screen reader.

o       To connect to UW-Stout's instructional BBS system, initiate
        a "telnet" command to our node address:  major.uwstout.edu
        Although our BBS can be implemented in a graphical client/server
        mode, it is fully functional in ASCII text.

o       Potential online students may also connect to BBS modems by
        calling (715) 232-5250.

You may be able to "surf" our home page and even "telnet" to our
BBS through commercial systems or internet service providers (ISPs).
"Delphi" was the first commercial BBS systems to provide telnet-capable
internet access to subscribers.  "Prodigy", "America Online", and
"Compuserve" also provide subscribers with internet access and Web
browsing features.  The number of local ISP's is also growing.  Check

Internet address by calling  toll-free 1-800-818-NEWS.

WHAT IS NEWSHOUND?

NewsHound automatically searches the stories and most classified
ads in the San  Jose Mercury News, as well as hundreds of stories
not published in the paper.  Selected articles and ads matching
your profiles are sent directly to your  Internet address.

You create a NewsHound profile by mailing a simple form with words
and phrases  that could appear in the information you want. In a
few minutes, a confirmation  message will appear in your e-mail
box. 

Almost immediately, the NewsHound will begin searching the articles
and ads  received during the current day and sending any that match
your profile. This  feedback helps you gauge the effectiveness of
the profile. After viewing these  articles, you can adjust your
profile by adding or eliminating words or  phrases, or by changing
its "Selectivity."

Once created, a NewsHound profile searches incoming articles and
advertisements  every hour on the hour throughout the day and sends
the most relevant ones to  your e-mail box. You don't have to spend
time searching for this information  because your NewsHound does
the work.


CHARGES AND BILLING

The special rate for charter subscribers to the Mercury Center
NewsHound  service is just $4.95 per month for a total of up to
five different profiles.  That's half off the usual rate of $9.95
per month -- and the first month is  free!

This is a flat rate that applies regardless of the number of
stories or ads  delivered to your e-mail box during the month.

You can delete old profiles and create new ones as often as you
like so long as  the total is five or under. If you need more
profiles, the special rate for  charter subscribers is an
additional $4.95 per month for each group of five.

To register your Internet address to use the NewsHound, please call 
1-800-818-NEWS or 408-297-8495. Customer service hours are 7 a.m.

Item #59 NewsReel Magazine
From: Irwin Hott
 Email: ishott@freenet.columbus.oh.us
NewsReel is  a rather unique cassette  magazine done in the  voices of
its subscribers.
 
Typically  NewsReel  is  3  hours  per  month  on  a 4-track 90 minute
cassette.  We do  produce a  limited number  of half-track  copies for
people who don't have 4-track players.
 
We usually receive somewhere around 80  tapes per month and I probably
average about 60 tapes per issue.
 
Articles may range from discussions of Audio Description, to a Braille
Writer for  sale, someone looking  for advice in  relocating, buying a
computer etc.
 
Maggie Nettles  does a Kitchen  Corner every month  with lots of  good
recipes.  We usually have a puzzle with the answer next month.
 
We ask for a $25.00 contribution yearly for NewsReel on a read-and-return
basis. There  is a $50.00 subscription  level that allows you  to keep
any or all tapes.  We also offer a $300.00 Life Membership.
 
There are monthly issues as well as some specials. there  will be a recipe
special and a guide dog special in  1996.
 
I am also working on a technology special which will cover a little of
the Internet with lots of articles sent in by other subscribers.
 
We'll be glad to send a sample of Newsreel if you want to send your
address to:
 
NewsReel Inc.

Item #72  Books On Tape
From: "Paul Migliorelli (+1-303-543-2311)" paulmigs@netcom.com

and Books On Tape (800-626-3333) in California.
Books on Tape has a website which is www.booksontape.com
That's a neat place to find out about new releases, as the hardcopy they
send out via snailmail each month or so is a ***huge (and I do mean huge)
fold out.
Both the above mentioned customer service departments have
always been more than helpful.

Item #78  Vox Chat
Blind talk on Vox Chat
Hello all. Just wanted to remind all the folks who have downloaded vox chat
about the blindtalk channel we're starting on it. We meet on the blindtalk
channel on the voxchat2 server. If the room doesn't exist, feel free to
create it. FOr those who haven't downloaded this great program, it allows
you to talk voice to several people at the same time, just like irc, except
it uses voice instead of typing. We had quite a crowd on there last night,
and it worked great. If you would like to download this high quality, free
program, go to ftp.voxware.com, change to the pub directory, then to the
voxware directory. I can't remember the exact file name, but I know it's the
only file there with the letters vcb at the beginning. ONce you get the
file, just run it from windows 95, and follow the instructions. Note. When
you're ready to connect to a server, you will have 2 choices, voxchat1, and
voxchat2. We use voxchat 2 for blindtalk, because it's less crowded and thus
less lag. THere's usually someone on every night, and sometimes in the
afternoons, so drop in any time. I'm hoping we can make this a very popular
meeting place for the blind folks on here.

Item #79  Iliad - Search The Web By Email
Now you can access the Web with one simple e-mail message.
Iliad is an electronic information assistant (search engine) that
retrieves and processes information from the Internet using electronic
mail (e-mail).  It was originally designed by NASA scientist Dr. Robert
Shelton to allow teachers with limited computing power to access Internet
resources.  Since persons who are blind or severely visually impaired may
also be deterred from using Web search engines by limited computing power
and problems with accessibility, the Rehabilitation Research and Training
Center (RRTC) on Blindness and Low Vision at Mississippi State University
(MSU) teamed up with NASA to make Iliad more accessible and more
well-known.

How does it work?
1.  Send an e-mail message to iliad@msstate.edu OR
iliad@algol.jsc.nasa.gov typed in the required format.
2.  In the subject line type: iliad query
3.  In the body of the message type: ?Q:  your search
words

When Iliad receives your e-mail message requesting a search, it sends it
to eight different Web search sites (e.g, Alta Vista, Excite, InfoSeek,
Lycos, WebCrawler).  Iliad screens out graphical, irrelevant, and
duplicate documents before e-mailing the search results, which are full
text documents, back to you.  A search using Iliad usually takes only 15 -
20 minutes, and you don't need to stay online for the duration of the
search.  With Iliad you can leave your computer, and when you come back,
the search results will be waiting for you in your inbox.

You can also request more detailed instructions on using Iliad, including
how to access a specific URL.  Here's how:
1. Send an e-mail message to iliad@msstate.edu OR
iliad@algol.jsc.nasa.gov.
2. On the subject line type: start iliad
Do not type anything in the body of the message.

What do I do now?
Now YOU can help the staff at the RRTC on Blindness and Low Vision
identify changes that need to be made to Iliad for optimal accessibility
and use by blind computer users.  Give Iliad a try and let us know what
you think.  To receive additional information about Iliad or to provide
suggestions for optimizing Iliad's use, contact Brenda Cavenaugh, Tara
Laney, or Marty Giesen at (601) 325-2001 or send e-mail to
bsc2@ra.msstate.edu.

Item #80  Blind Hams IRC channel
This is to let everyone know that there is a new i r c channel for the
blind Ham.  It is on the dal.net irc server and is called Blindhams.  The
channel has been created for those who want to talk about issues that
effect blind amateur radio operators, or for those who want to make
contactwith other hams, or for just good old fashioned rag chewing.
I hope you will stop and try it.  It might just be fun.
