First, thanks so much to all the people who took time to answer my question
about a place that lists JAWS scripts. Very much appreciated, especially
the site listed by Jamal here. .
It may not need to be clarified, but I wasn't looking for a place that had
the actual scripts themselves or updates or anything like that. I merely
was hoping that there was a site that carried the name of a commercial
application and then a pointer/URL to a site that might sell or share
scripts for that app. For example, I might use a piece of music software
and there may be someone somewhere who has written scripts for that specific
piece of software.... I would think it would be to everyone's benefit if at
no cost the author could go list his site attached to that application.
It seems this site Jamal mentions is a very good start on this.
Thanks again.
John
