Hi Robert,
Thanks much for this incredibly useful information. I'm sure the access
this utility provides is far less than perfect, but it is probably much
better than the practically useless non-solution currently provided.
I'm checking this out.
As a side note, we're only talking about gaining accessibility to any .lit
files which we may have rightfully purchased. Whether or not this is
strictly legal, it is simply morally correct that we, as blind people, would
gain decent accessibility to something for which we spent our very limited
financial resources. Under these circumstances, anyone would be extremely
hard-pressed to take actions against us or shut down this list...
