jaws for dos can be gotten from the following URL http://www.freedomscientific.com/fs_downloads/jdosfree.exe I do not like it ASAP is much better IMO but I guess if you can't buy asap any more then jaws for dos is better than nothing. I'm so lucky my mom knew her 5 year old son would one day be a hobbyist in to old computer systems and bought me a copy of ASAP and a litetalk back when they were still being sold in the 90s. I have a giant old computer from the 90s in the other room I put a very old USB card in and after some messing around with dos drivers and a win98 boot disc I still have, I now have a entire dos system running off of a cheepo 1-gig USB thumb drive complete with loads of games mainly z-code as they are best played in dos using ASAP. You can play them under gnu/Linux using frotz but some times it wants to reread messages it already read so playing using dos frotz with ASAP for me is better. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tony Baechler" <tony@xxxxxxxxxxxx> To: "Speakup is a screen review system for Linux." <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Sunday, February 24, 2008 4:50 AM Subject: Re: 4DOS > Also, Win 3.1 at least for me was very unstable and I think there might > be compatibility problems with it and FreeDOS.
