[nfbcs] Safari Books

[Lloyd Rasmussen]

O'reilly made a change to Safari a few weeks ago.  Some blind programmers 
protested to them, and at that time they provided a link to more accessible 
material.  They didn't promise that they would keep this link going.  I 
didn't keep the relevant e-mails, which were on the
   program-l at freelists.org
listserv.  The contact information may be in the archives of that listserv.

More information about that listserv follows:
