Edge of Evil by J. A. Jance is now part of the library. I'm still new enough at this that it really excites me when I get that email saying that my submitted book has become part of the library. You'd think I'd written it or something. (smile)

Yall: Many of u on this list may know Jamal Mazrui. He is a programmer, works w/the fcc, & basically does a great deal of accessibility work for the blind & is in fact blind himself. He has written an editor called EdSharp, & it can edit rtf files. He has, at my request, recently added a feature so that page numbers display on the status line. Searches can be performed for stuff like a line break by using \n (backslash n), for example. Although he originally designed it as primarily a programming/html editor, we (that is, Jamal & some volunteers on this list & myself) are now in continuing discussions as to how to make this a very useable alternative to word for bookshare volunteers, as he himself is a huge proponent of bookshare. The commands pretty much duplicate those in word or wordpad & the interface doesn't get any more accessible. I really rather suspect that within the next week or 2, we'll have ironed out what glitches remain & it'll be yet 1 more tool in our arsonel. Unlike Microsoft, where you've gotta wait forever for a change to take effect, Jamal is responsive within days. Plus it's open source so if any of u aspiring programmers out there wanna change the code yourselves, knock yourself out! Plus Jamal, as talented & knowledgeable as he is, nonetheless remains a really nice guy to work with. No ego there. It's available from: www.empowermentzone.com I believe. Roger, u may want to look at your font & make certain it isn't too large. Sometimes large fonts produce line breaks that go away when the font is made smaller & the proper amount of text can fit on the page. Night & blessings, yall.
