Hi,
Notepad++ is a good editor for programming. It works well with NVDA and
should do as well with JAWS. For compiling just install GCC and run that
from a DOS prompt. You will hav to use the JAWS cursor to read the output
oft he compiler, but that should work. Visualstudio is working well with
JAWS as well. You can type and call up the results after compiling with
Alt+2 or from a menu option. There is a free express version from
visualstudio available.

Betreff: any luck using Cygwin with JAWS?
Hello, I am a programming student. I wrote with some problems and it
was suggested I try compiling on the command line or using Visual
Studio. My teacher says compiling on the command line is the best
option for me at this point since I am only in an introductory C
course right now. We tried compiling on the command line with my
computer but we had several problems so my teacher suggested using the
Cygwin environment and VI text editor. As it is non-graphical and
mainly text-based, he figured it would work well with JAWS. JAWS will
of course repeat back what I am typing but nothing else. It won't read
anything to me in the Cygwin terminal or when I am using the VI text
editor on my windows 8 machine. I am wondering if anybody has had any
luck with this environment. He also installed the nano text editor but
since I am not getting any feedback in the terminal window, I fear I
will have no luck here either. Freedom Scientific told me they have
not had much luck with it but suggested I ask if anybody else has or
if anybody has work arounds to make it work. Sorry for the long-winded
email but I wanted to explain the situation to you. Thanks for any
help. Best regards, Jesse Tregarthen
