This is a public beta, people. If you download a public beta, you agree
that you are looking for bugs. That's what beta means. If you want a

Furthermore, I am sure only a small percentage of Jaws users subscribe to
this list or even if they do, still might have problems making this
modification. What happened to the instructions that were in the default J S
B and J S S files? Is it the case that these files would be replaced by
their counterparts from the all users folder?
