Hi,
Agreeing with others who have already commented, the selection of the font
the emulator uses is quite important.
In addition, some newer emulators have something called double buffering,
which while the earlier Jaws had no issue with, the latest versions are
really troubled by it. We needed to have our IT provide a fix, which was to
disable the double buffering for the VIP users. Sorry, I have no
understanding of what double buffering is.
Another issue we needed to have a similar IT fix for, was an increased use
of MSAA within the emulator, which while intended to improve access,
interacted with Jaws in such a way that system crashes happened several
times a day, instead of once or twice a year.
Hope there's something useful here.
Regards,
Paul from Aust.

I work for the Arkansas department of information systems. I use JAWS to
accesss the IBM OS3090 mainframe. The emulator we use is attachmate
extra 8.0. I continue to have the following problems with my PC. I
currently am using a PC that has version 6.0 of Jaws. I also hav an
older version of the Microsoft products while the rest of my coworkers
have been upgraded on these products. I have been having a problem with
my machine locking up....I have times when I cannot access the computer
drives and times when Ihave problems accessing the mainframe.
Our It specialist has another PC that she has loaded with version 9.0 of
Jaws. I have done some work with this PC and it has problems accessing
the Mainframe.
So I have a problem in that my current machine has problems and I can't
go to any upgraded PC because it has problems too.....This is impacting
my ability to do my job.
I am trying to find out If there are other mainframe programmers who can
suggest solutions. Thanks!
