I think, if you try 7-zip you will get what you want. It's free file manager, completely jaws friendly and will get one of the best compression program.

I am looking for a simple, easy-to-use file manager or database program that will work well with JAWS. Nothing complicated or sophisticated is required; I only want to keep track of a few names, phone numbers, passwords, etc. And no, I do not wish to use the Address Book in Outlook Express. Any help will be appreciated. -- George -- JFW related links: JFW homepage: http://www.freedomscientific.com/ Scripting mailing list: http://lists.the-jdh.com/listinfo.cgi/scriptography-the-jdh.com JFW List instructions: To post a message to the list, send it to jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe from this mailing list, send a message to jfw-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word unsubscribe in the subject line.
