Window-eyes seems remarkably free from problems--Don has configured a good
set of set-files, that work transparently. However as I am not embossing
and won't be able to work on the Braille lite generic embosser, until my
notetaker gets a clean bill of health, I won't have the ability to
transparently test Window-eyes with DBT. If there are any new window-eyes
users on the list, I think we should do what we can to make Wineyes as
compatible as possible. As far as JFW goes, "no speaka de program velly
well.
