Microcomputers: software directory and selected bibliography.

The amount of microcomputer software and related publications continues to increase; hence, this second directory and bibliography. To get broad coverage of recent software likely to interest readers of Ear and Hearing, I sent a survey form to scores of potential sources. Surprisingly, two suppliers did not respond to written and telephoned requests for information about their software even though there was no charge for listing it. Comparison of the current directory with the one published in the November-December 1984 issue shows several differences. Some examples: the number of programs and suppliers has increased and now includes some from Canada as well as the U.S., the 1986 directory has more programs for hearing conservation and fewer for hearing aid selection, and the current directory has a majority of programs for IBM computers while the 1984 directory had a majority of programs for Apple computers. There is a large amount of software that might be suitable for language development with hearing-impaired individuals, but no attempt was made to include it in the directory. Those interested in such software are referred to books like Swift’s Educational Software Directory for Corvus Networks 1984: Apple II Edition, catalogs like Computer Stufl(A. W. Peller and Assoc., Inc., P.O. Box 106, Hawthorne, NJ 07507), other publications (see Bibliography, Serials), and reviews (in Asha, Child. Lang. Teach. Ther., J. Comput. Users Speech Hear., Volta Rev.). In the directory that follows, the name of the manufacturer or distributor is given in abbreviated form (e.g., SEI) after the cost of each item. At the end of the software listing is a section, “Manufacturers and Suppliers,” that gives the full name of each, along with the address and in most cases the telephone number and name of a person who can supply more information about the product. Because prices and software design are subject to change, buyers are advised to confirm before ordering. Inclusion in the directory does not imply endorsement of a product by Ear and Hearing or the American Auditory Society. Readers who know of useful software that has been omitted are asked to notify me at P.O. Box 1903, University, AL 35486. Diagnosis
