Try JAWS for DOS in edit.exe and you'll see what I mean about DOS screen readers having trouble in some applications with speaking the cursor location. On the other hand, it works great with a port of emacs to DOS. Jaws for Windows chokes on a port of Vi Improved to Windows, but works fine in traditional word processors. Go figure! On another subject, try finding a Windows program that will telnet to a remote site and allow a totally blind person to read the screen without repeating or losing parts of it. Try the same thing under Linux and note the difference. In short, it took me a long, tiresome search to find a good telnet client under Windows, whereas in Linux, I typed "telnet" and a hostname and actually forgot for a moment that I was connected to a remote site. Same goes for SSH.
