The world as a whole seems to have mostly settled on one screen reader per platform. With the exception of Windows, although Narrator is getting good enough that I can't see spending money for anything else unless I need virtual channel/remote desktop support. I do use emacspeak rather than gnome-terminal+Orca for console apps. I find I get a somewhat better experience because I'm already using Emacs for a lot, and because cut&paste in gnome-terminal is not as accessible as I'd like. It's absolutely true that .bat files are simpler than Linux scripting. DOS is an operating system that spends some effort on making text mode easy to use. On Linux today, console mode is for developers/programmers/system administrators in terms of what resources are being funded. _______________________________________________ Blinux-list mailing list Blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list
