Abstract :
As a visually impaired computer user the author needed a simple solution that would allow him and others to see and use the vast range of PC text and graphics programs. He created LP-DOS (Large Print DOS). LP-DOS is a software package that can run on any PC or laptop. It can be used anywhere: business, home, or school. Once loaded, LP-DOS magnifies wordprocessors, spreadsheets, educational software, and video games. Now, LP-DOS is also the first product to also completely support the Microsoft Windows environment opening the world of Windows to people with low vision
