Dear list members,

Dave Eisler has released ZoomPower 1.1 beta.
This beta version includes two major improvements:

- In the previous version there were two magniefied viewers on the screen.
Some of you sat this as one magnified view with a "stange hole" in it. In
this version there is only one viewer around your mouse cursor that always
as large as possible.

- ZoomPower now has a full screen magnification reading mode. After
starting ZoomPower you can press the CONTROL+SHIFT keys to get a full
screen magnified view. You can look around by moving your mouse or by
pressing hotkeys on your keyboard. In this mode it is NOT possible to input
text in your word processor or fill out a form.
If you click or double click on a object in full screen magnification mode,
like a hyperlink, button or icon, the full screen magnification automaticly
turns to partial magnification and execute your action like opening the
hyperlink you clicked or starting the program you double clicked on. You
can simply turn back to full screen magnification by pressing CONTROL+SHIFT
keys again.

ZoomPower is the best screen magnifier utility for Windows 95/98 in the
area of freeware and shareware at this moment.
It does not offer features like tracking, font smoothing, automatic reading
etc. as professional screen magnifiers offer, but it is a good alternative
for those who have not the money to buy an expensive professional screen
magnifier and for a lot of people ZoomPower will offer enough features.

ZoomPower runs on Windows 95/98. In all display resolutions and color
depth. It is independent of video drivers and it offers a flexible
magnification level.

If you are interested in screen magnification, please try out this program
and send your comments and suggestions for improvements to Dave Eisler
