Hi,
Homer kit has executables that might not be authorized to run in restricted 
environments.

Jude,
Let me clarify that the Homer.NET libraries and HomerApp MDI framework
are for rapid development of accessible Windows GUI applications, not
about extending JAWS.  For anyone whose security may let them unarchive
but not run an executable installer, HomerApp (which includes the
Homer.NET libraries) is also available at the same URL but with a .zip
extension, i.e.,
http://EmpowermentZone.com/appsetup.zip

For JAWS add-ons, I suggest JAWS Script Exchange, which includes a
number of script packages and tools.  It is also available either as an
executable installer at
http://EmpowermentZone.com/jsxsetup.exe

or as a zip archive at
http://EmpowermentZone.com/jsxsetup.zip

By default, the installer targets the directory
C:\JSX

I think that JAWS scripts can be installed in even strict security
environments.  They are files placed in a subdirectory of application
data along with other JAWS settings.  A normal JAWS installation
requires write access to that settings directory.  Installing JAWS
scripts does not put files in the Program Files directory tree.

Hope this helps,
Jamal
