[jaws-uk] Re: JAWS PROGRAM QUERY

Display chaining is what most screen readers currently do in order to pick up 
information from the video subsystem of a Windows NT/2000/XP or VISTA PC (until 
something better is working).  Display chaining consists of installing and 
hooking into an existing working display chain and display driver on the host 
PC.  Among the vast majority of vendors this now done using a system called DCM 
(display chaining manager) to allow multiple AT software to co-exist peacefully 
on a machine.  It is hoped (I would think by all AT vendors) that a better 
alternative to this invasive information gathering process will become 
available, during the VISTA product cycle.  Jaws 7.10 and 8.0 will run and 
speak without an installed and chained video driver of its own, but 
functionality is a little limited but is often good enough to get into a 
control panel and more obviously to allow a user to re-install the video 
interceptor.

  What is Display Chaining Manager?  This comes up under the JAWS program
  submenu in startup menu.  When opening it it talks about video intercept,
  and something is installed but disabled.  Can someone in the know explain?
