[gui-talk] e-mailing myself a full magazine from newsline:What program to open it?

Sat Jun 6 07:06:21 UTC 2009

Albert,

as I think I mentioned earlier, I've used the FS Reader some time ago when I 
learned that some more of the Jaws documentation was available in Daisy that 
wasn't represented in the regular Help files, and once i got the hang of it, 
it was fine. But fortunately, if I download and install the most recent 
version of this freeware reader, and get the hang of it if I ever need it, 
the price difference will make me forget all about the FS Reader unless this 
AMIS thing is really a bear to use. Which I don't recall anyone saying, or 
saying very fervently. If it really doesn't work for me once I find a use 
for it, that'll be another story.

Just curious. Do you have any experience with AMIS, yourself? If so, do you 
make use of it with much regularity? I'd love to hear real life stories 
about this program or "system," as they seem to prefer calling it. Thanks.

I like the jaws reader but not enough to spend the $80 for it when there's
another program like the one Dave mentions that's free.

Dave,

thanks again. the home page has moved, but there's a link on the page you
provide a link to that takes you to the new site. Also, the name of the
program is
AMIS (Adaptive Multimedia Information System). Maybe it was Ami, pronounced
like the French word for "friend," once, but now it actually is spelled like

that and Jaws, bless its eloquent heart, says Amos, as in Amos 'n' Andy.
Boy, is that politically incorrect to reference, for anyone who either
remembers the show for real, as I do, or is an OTR-head.

Anyway, I'll be looking into it so that I can take fuller advantage of the
reading options that are available.

Joel
