Hey Jay,

I'm extremely saddened to hear about this. Please feel free to email me off 
line. My father recently battled with colon cancer , so
I'm all to familiar with it in that respect.

Also, I remember us discussing various java accessibility related issues with 
Mike Grace, if you remember him. He's moved on to
security related research these days, but let's chat off list.

All the best to you

Take care,
Sina

Hi All,

My name is Jay Macarty and I am the author of the java accessibility software 
for Window-Eyes called WE4Java. For the past 7 months,
I have been battleing colon cancer and thus, have not been able to devote much 
time to the completion of this software. Given my
current health condition and work load, I can see that it is not going to be 
posible for me to continue work on this project without
inviting some outside developer assistance. I would be more than happy to talk 
to anyone interested in taking the foundation of
WE4Java and building it out to a more flexible and complete product. I hate 
giving up years of effort and thousands of hours of
programming for nothing but as things stand, I don't see how to keep moving 
this project forwardn without opening up the source in
some form or another.

My last thought on this matter was to try to enlist the help of a C++ developer 
to create a dll to interface directly with the
WE4Java code base using java's native interface, JNI, instead of going through 
the existing wsc object and the third-party Jacob COM
API. I would invite any thoughts or feedback on this topic to see if we can 
form some type of collaborative effort to finish this
package out.
