Subject: Zip archive available of free Microsoft training on accessible 
development

Now available at

http://empowermentzone.com/ms_acc_train.zip

If this archive is downloaded and unzipped, it creates a directory tree
that includes the file ReadMe.txt in the top directory.  The content of
that file is pasted below my name.

Note that this archive is huge -- about 270 megabytes of videos, source
code samples, and documents, covering accessibility standards APIs, and
practices.  I have tested the integrity of the archive after downloading
it from the above URL.  Microsoft intends this to be a free educational
resource that facilitates development of more accessible applications.
Feel free to publicize and share (with appropriate attribution to
Microsoft).

[Content of ReadMe.txt]

This distribution is a repackaged version of an ISO CD image from
Microsoft containing traning materials for accessible application
development, located at
http://download.microsoft.com/download/1/f/4/1f4c1601-64a5-459e-9e56-d492ad46011f/tools_training_cd.iso


All the original files are included in an alternate, zip archive format
that is easier for many to unpackage.  To browse the training materials,
open the file Start_Training.htm in this directory.

Besides this ReadMe.txt file, a subdirectory called Other was added.  It
contains other accessibility guides and research studies from
microsoft.com.  Each .doc, .pdf, or .ppt file also has a .txt version
included, as converted by Microsoft Word, Adobe Reader, or Microsoft
PowerPoint, respectively.  If both .doc and .pdf versions of a file were
available, then the .doc one was chosen.  If possible, printer-friendly
versions of .htm files were chosen when HTML was the only source format.
  The about 60 document titles in the Other subdirectory are listed below.
