<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi all. My name is Ameer Armaly, and I am a blind
programmer. I recently came across a reference to Netrek from a friend who told
me that it would b e nice to make it playable by the blind through the use of
stario sound and speech.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>So I started researching: at a glance, there seems
to be no definitive protocol reference. If someone could point me to one that
would be great; I could then write a whole new client with speech support.
Failing that, what would be the best client to modify for the windows operating
system? Preferably, it should use windows standard controls wherever possible so
that any changes I make are relatively clean as opposed to having to rip out the
whole UI. For example, I have seen that some clients do not present the list of
servers in an actual list box; this would have to be modified for optimal
accessibility.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Any advice you all could lend would be
appreciated.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks,</FONT></DIV>
