That assumes they're not working on the problem, Jim. Maybe they want to
work on the problem without having to answer all sorts of Vista-related
questions.

Hi, agreed but un like bruce I am torn.  For the programmer this is the

edge it is not the best thing they could be doing.
The longer they wait to start working on the problem the longer us users
are going to have to wait.

What I'm thinking FS will probably do is build support for Vista in
their
next full release, or the first full release of JAWS after Vista is
released. Hopefully, users of Vista won't have to wait too long for it.

I take this as an indicator that FS should wait until Vista is out,
so
they'll know exactly what they have to do for accessibility.

 Hi all,

 Sorry for the cross posting but I felt this was important.  As
some of you know, I am testing the beta of windows vista and

 Well, in the course of this testing: I was surprised to find

 installed and worked correctly, which is good news I suppose

FreedomScientific, since in the latest beta build of 5270 ... Jaws

but

 The reason I bring any of this up is that I have been talking
to the

 wonderful folks at FreedomScientific, who have told me that they

 It is interesting to note that GWMicro seems to be much more

sensible in

 that they already profess to have minor compatibility. While I do

 If you all wish ... Maybe a storm/torrent of emails to

FreedomScientific

 would get them to admit something more about their plans for
vista.
