Hi folks
Ok, let's clear things up.
At 02:46 PM 1/24/2007, you wrote:
On the FS website, I could find only full download links.
This is correct. the only difference between the 2 links is the way
in which the program is downloaded. the first one is ftp, file
transfer protocall, and the second one, http is a different method of
downloading the program.
So there is absolutely no difference in the program that is actually
downloaded, it's just the way that it's done. some people may not be
able to access the ftp link, so fs offers a separate http method of
downloading the program.
Back to the e-mail...
Perhaps someone could report what happens when you download via
the update link in the JAWS help menu.
It does exactly what it says.
the program goes out onto the fs update server and checks to see if
any updates are available for JAWS. if any are available and you
don't have them installed you will have the opportunity to download
and install them then. After that, you'll be asked to reboot your
computer, after which, you will be up-to-date.
Keep in mind that this only works under windows xp. You 98 folks will
have to download and use JAWS 7.10. or better yet, update your
operating system.
Hope this helps.
