just one question, What version of jfw was this? Window eyes is a great product if you don't mind putting up with having to write set files to get around some basic problems like ctrl+r in outlook express needing a pass through or you just want to use the pass through. When I used window eyes to drive my accent, I had to re set it for it to work and it didn't do that good of a job at that. This was not that many versions ago. I've had no memory leak problems with jaws but then each person and circumstance are different. I hear window eyes has great braille display support at least that is what gw micro is saying. Why are we talking about windows on this list anyway <grin> Happy season. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Amanda Lee" <amanda@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Tuesday, December 25, 2001 2:35 PM Subject: Re: ssh for windows Agreed! JFW is too unstable for me. I have both Screen Readers. Also, JFW is far more flakewise to setup. JFW is too picky about video adapters. I have never seen any of JFW's source code but I bet they've never checked thoroughly for memory leaks and the like. But still, when one application won't work with one Screen Reader, I go to the other and sometimes that's the only solution. Typically, whenever I use JFW, I use it to drive the Braille Display and do't bother with Eloquence which grates on me like somebody scratching a chalkboard and it does a horrible interface to Accent/SA or the Artic Transport which WinEyes does a fairly decent job of. Let's see now! I betya ole David P is gonna get me for this one hahahaha!
