[Blindmath] iveo viewer and general advice

[Tim in 't Veld]

Hi John,
I'm glad to hear IVEO  is under active development again! As you are 
more than likely aware I'm always open for providing constructive 
feedback on alpha / beta software, so by all means include me in the 
beta team. I'm still hoping to use my Viewplus equipment to 
independently emboss and explore diagrams some day, and will be glad to 
help you in developing the software which will enable the visually 
impaired community to take  full advantage of your great hardware.
