Dear Omar,

I have found that JAWS 6.20.65 has proven to be the most reliable version of 
JAWS that can be used with Sonar scripts and Sonar.

I have spoken with several people at Freedom Scientific over the last  6 
months, including Eric Damory, and the basic attitude is that the number of 
people using JAWS for music is so small, that it doesn't warrant their full 
attention.

Just imagine if the auto industry took this posture with regard to their 
vehicles loosing wheels!  Would they say something like, "The number of 
customers using our vehicles for ambulances  is so small, that it doesn't 
really matter!"?  Addressing the wheels falling off vehicles obviously benefits 
everyone that uses the vehicle!  Taking care of all customers is just plane 
smart business sense.  Not only will it keep your current clients happy, but 
will inevitably sustained good customer relation in all that a company may sell 
or do.

This I know for sure, that once there is an alternative screen reading package 
to JAWS, there will be such a mass exodus from JAWS that it will make Freedom 
Scientifics' heads spin!

I personally know of developers that are working diligently to one day produce 
a compatible product for JAWS for a fraction of the current price, if not 
completely free!  The prevailing attitude of many is still "OH-YEAH!  They'll 
never catch up to us!  That's what the turtle said to the hare, before he went 
to sleep overly confident in his performance as well!,  Remember, that was just 
before loosing the race!

Take Care,

Sean A. Cummins

  Hello:

  I'm sometimes encountering JAWS crashing on my computer in the middle of 
random tasks and applications. In fact, the entire soundcard that JAWS is 
running on seems to crash. Does anybody have any suggestions? I have a pentium 
3.2 gig processor, and 2 gigs of ram.

  Thanks.
