hi
There is *most definitely* a version of JAWS 7 for windows 98. In fact
with the CD Judith has, the proper version is installed based on the
operating system being used.
So she wouldn't need to ditch the cd and re-download it at all, the cd just
installs the proper version. nice!

Judith, I believe I read in the Jaws 7 release notes that version 7 was NOT meant for Windows 98.
You can certainly have more than one version of Jaws on your system though--although I guess your ram capacity would bear on that. Also, Version 7 is, I believe about 7 megs in size so we should really know a little more about your system before giving a definitive answer.
I use the hot key combo control alt 5, control alt 6 and control alt j for versions 5, 6 and 7 respectively.
I like version 7 best of all but so far I have not experienced many of the problems others have spoken of.
I am quite certain though that version 7 is specifically not recommended for Windows 98.

I just went to the FS website and read of the new features. Quite honestly, the spike feature discussed earlier this week would allow me to collect material on the clipboard and paste it all when I was ready. The other new feature that allows for easier menu reading has never been a problem for me. One thing that I forgot to point out is that I'm working on windows 98. Would this pose a problem if I decided to install the program?
