This is not true if you set the project files right Jaws sees the
application as its name not as vcl. I have created plenty of accessible
simple programs from Borland but you do have to set things right. I have
stopped using Borland 6 though so I can't remember the settings I had to set
but its in the project settings.

Hi,
My experience is that a program developped with Borland C++ Builder (in any
recent version) presents the difficulty of using the Borland Visual Class
Library (VCL). This has several effects:
- the executable that results is huge (that may or may not be a real
problem)
- JAWS seems to recognize only the VCL and so it becomes a problem to have
different JAWS configurations for different projects.
I use the Borland compiler from a command line or batch file to compile
programs using native code and API calls and it works fine. All you have to
do is to make sure that you use standard Windows resources. To include
resources such as menus and accelerators, there is a way of putting an
include statement in the main .cpp file that makes it easy. If you're
interested in that, let me know and I'll send the code to you.
HTH.
