Actually, you have both a gpled version of dos, and a gpled dos screen
reader available to you, and to anyone else for that matter.

Freedos is quite stable now, and you can run it from the cd as a live
system, without having to install it, provided that your machine
supports booting from cd-rom of course. Even if it doesn't, you could
still probably boot from cd by using smart boot manager. Failing that,
I do seem to recall the documentation for freedos stating that it is
possible to make your own floppy images. You can get freedos from:

http://www.freedos.org

Now for the screen reader part of things, I believe provox should
still be available from Chuck's site. In fact, let me check on that
... yes, it's still there:

. I can tell you with confidence that provox works nicely under
freedos with a doubletalk pc, and a bns. Hth.
