[Blindmath] MathDaisy 1.0 Released

[Neil Soiffer]

Yes, MathDaisy will work with equations by any of the three equations
editors that are commonly used with Word:  the built-in free one that comes
with all versions of Word; MathType, the upgrade to that editor; and the new
free editor that only works in Word 2007.  You must have MathType 6.5 or
later on the computer that you are using Save as DAISY on.  For more
