Unfortunately, FS has not shown receptiveness to supporting JAWS script
developers. It baffles me why this is the case, since we bring additional
value to the product,and competitors have ramped up their scripting
capabilities such that there is now real competition in the area. I have
respectfully communicated various developer suggestions to appropriate FS
officials, including ideas collected from this list, and not even received
an acknowledgement.

Hi Jamal.
Thanks very much for responding to my concerns so graciously and promptly,
as you always seem to manage to do. I honestly don't know how you get the
energy! <grin.>
I'm sorry to hear it's not sounding like it's an easy thing to do. I just
really think it would heighten people's desire to want to try things, if
they knew they had a reliable restore/uninstall path to follow, to get
their systems back to the ways they were before installation.
I guess because FS isn't in the business of providing scripts themselves,
that there providing such a decent installer/uninstaller, is low on their
priority chain eh. <groan.> however, they respect you out there I'm sure,
so perhaps your suggesting this might be helpful to them as
developer/customer feedback? for surely now, that gw have jumped on this
scripting bandWaggon as well, and that they're providing such a feature,
making it more attractive for third party scripters like yourself to
provide solutions through use of one or other product, that fs would want
to begin to compete, or at least not see their current edge be lost
through better and more flexible products offered by competitors?
might this not improve their impetous to wish to comply with customer
feedback more than before? or aren't they seeing the danger sufficiently
enough yet to make them concerned enough for this to become a reality do
you think.
