Toby: I was never able to make hide nor hair of exactly that file. My last heavy use of Win was exactly Win 98, though it was certainly before JFW 3.5. I don't know that we're exactly OK in saying "it's accessible" if it's dependent on a particular proprietary assistive technology. That doesn't define "accessible" in my book. But, more to the point, I was cer5tainly stopped in my efforts to get usable data from that feature on Win 98 systems. Could you post an example of its output on this list that's readable? Or is that a hack? If it's a hack, then it's not accessible from that measure as well.
