Looking for a Programming Project which would really benefit blind people

[Stoppard]

Hi John,
Well for people who are parshily sighted i am sure a GUI is much easyer, and
you don't have to learn all those commands and switches.
I guess Carpurnicus will need work before it is ready.

Have you had a look at,
www.oralux.org

See what you think,
Nigel
