Hello Ann, The older version of Doss will offer more features, but it will also require an external speech synthesizer. Depending on what the student requires, the JFD would also run better if there is some method of running a memory management program. Just curious, what DOS application is needed? I still have JFD running on an older 486 PC with an Accent PC speech synth. It's cool! Cordially, Richard P.

My student is working with some DOS programs and windows XP. Will JAWS11 be enough DOS? Would it help for him to load the old JAWS for DOS? When I have used DOS from windows, as I recall you read with the JAWS cursor, then enter on the command line? Yes??? No???
