Short of getting something like Magic or ZoomText, try the Magnifier
program which is in Windows 2000.

Subject: Software for VI

I am a volunteer (and non-visually impaired) at our local public library
(a very small library in a small rural community in Vermont's Northeast
Kingdom).  We are making an attempt to improve our computer access for
the visually impaired (We have two Gates Foundation computers).  The
computers all have Windows 2000.  We find the visually-impaired feature
of 2000 to be less than satisfactory.  The librarian saw a Mac recently
that had a feature to enlarge the entire screen by various increments.
She liked it, but understood that software like that for the PC was very
expensive.  Does anyone know of something that will work well and not be
expensive?

Incidentally, we also have Virtual Magnifying Glass, which is priced
right, to be marginally satisfactorily.  We would like something that
enlarges the entire screen.

BTW, would anyone like to suggest any other software (or hardware) that
might be suitable for us, considering out extremely limited resources.

Thanks very much.

Peace.

Jim Mayor
