Jackie, to my limited knowledge, Jim Snowbarger's scripts have been
developped quite substantially by now so, if you're prepared to buy
them, JAWS will work quite well with SF9.
I'd be very surprised if SF9 didn't work with Vista.
Cheers,

Could I please chip in here to ask a question? How well does SF 9
work with
the latest JFW release, 9.0, and does the latest SF work on Vista Home
Premium? (Sorry, that was two questions) (smiles).
Many thanks.
Jackie
