No, it doesn't. I'm sorry.

Subject: Narrator for Non-XP OS?
Hi, folks.
I've been involved in a long-running project to restore the functionality of a
5-year-old Pentium II desktop. Right now, it's running the Windows 98 Second
Edition operating system, with JFW 5.0. (At this time I have not loaded the
latest upgrade patch, it's just installed from the original 5.0 CD.)
Anyway, I've run into a problem with the mouse and video display drivers that
is temporarily making JAWS non-functional. I'm going to have to extract and
reinstall a particular DLL file with the Windows operating system active. I
know how to do this, so there should be no problem; but I'd really love it if
this simple process would talk in spite of JFW's not being there.
If this were on one of my XP machines, I could make simple voice output happen
using Narrator; this has saved my tail several times when XP machines have come
down with video intercept errors. But I don't know of any streamlined
Narrator-like accessibility aid for older operating systems such as Win98 or
ME.
Does such a tool exist?
Sincerely,
-Kane
