One of Doug Lee's hunches was right -- JSX code included a sorting problem
whereby "10" was not being recognized as grather than "5."  A different
installation directory path is used for JAWS 5.x and below compared to
JAWS 6.x and above.  I think I first created JSX when JAWS 6 was new.
Similar to a year 2000 problem, I evidently did not conceive of the JAWS
version getting up to 10!  There has been a pattern of JAWS jumping major
version numbers with few increments, if any, within each major version, so
10 arrived much sooner than I conceived.  Also, around JAWS 8 or so, a
registry change did result in JSX failing to find the right directory,
thus requiring some tweaking of its code, so I initially thought this was
another situation like that.

With that silly bug fixed, I have posted recompiled versions of the
following:

JAWS Script Exchange
http://EmpowermentZone.com/jsxsetup.exe

HomerKit
http://EmpowermentZone.com/kitsetup.exe

JAWS Scripts for Visual Studio 2005 or 2008
http://EmpowermentZone.com/msenv2005.exe

Besides the complete JSX distribution, itself, dates or version
numbers are not currently changed in the HomerKit or VS script
packages.  I hope to incorporate other fixes or enhancements later.

Jamal
