One at a time is prudent. Heh, funny guy. I seem to remember
something in the agreement about how they don't want you running
multiple screen readers or be in a position where you can compare or
might potentially compare the beta to a competitors product ... It was
legalese. Not good with legalese. I ended up not going for it
because I didn't want to risk being in violation. The amount of time
you had to spend on it seemed like it would be pretty big and I am not
in a positon to do a proper job of it right now as well. I also
thought it was rather poor taste of fs to have folks test out their
buggy product and not give people a discount on an upgrade or
something like that but, that's neither here nor there. I'm just
curious if the suggestion I made that the editor made by the people
they constantly refer web developers to for how to write an accessible
web page had been thought of in this version and would it work with
it. I write html documents and it'd be nice to be able to use this
editor with Jaws since it's free, has built-in accessibility checking
for the output and supports all sorts of web-related things like svg,
xml, math ml and so on.
Thanks.
