Ed, It is no longer Hinter Joyce, it is Freedom Scientific and, yes, you should be able to download the current version of JAWS 11 - but - I have heard complaints about the most current version. I hope someone chimes with the 11.07?? version number as that is what I am currently running.

Will HJ give me a free version to replace the flawed one? I certainly won't waste a SMA to correct their error! I also notice that HJ isn't sending out information as to how best to deal with their goof up!!! I keep hearing rumors about a new program called MDVA, well think I have that right. However, I cannot find out anything about it. Do you have any suggestions as how to get more information on it? I have been using Jaws ever since it was a dos program back in the 1980s and up to now have found it be a reliable program, but now its quality is questionable. I have tried Window Eyes and found it rather confusing and even tried Linux and got as far as doing email and simple spread sheets, but then it got too involved and I gave it up. Why did Henter Joyce keep screwing around with Jaws and screwed it up royally and don't even bother to instruct its users as what to do to remedy the problems! sorry Dave didn't mean to vent like this, but I am so disgusted with Jaws that I could scream and just want something that I can just do email and down loads from Bard! Thanks for your time and patience!
