Hello Kimberly,
I just got off the phone with FS, and jfw 6.0 is still raving like a
lunatic; "unknown function, new text event".
What I've learned, on a windows 98 machine, you *MUST* install jfw 6.0 on
the C drive, and in the default location! I have an older 98 computer, and
my C drive is full, so I installed a 20 gb hard drive (D:). I installed the
last 4 versions of jfw on this D drive, but jfw 6.0 won't work for me, it
hangs at boot-up. JFW tech support says jaws looks for the settings files
in the windows directory at start-up, and if they are in another directory,
jfw goes madd! Freedom Scientific is working on the problem. Since I don't
have enough free space on my C drive, I can't use jfw 6.0 until I buy a
bigger C drive, or FS resolves the problem. Ironically, if I purchase and
install a new hard drive, I'll lose my authorization to use jfw 6.0, as my
locking code will change.
... Unbelievable "unknown function, new text event" ...
