Hi, Eleni, I didn't know Jaws for dos was free. I agree that the price for later versions of Jaws is os outrageous! I'd rather help NVDA too if anything. If I wanted to get jaws for dos, where would I go to download it?

I downloaded it and want to try it. Can anyone offer me any tips? I don't like the bloating and nonsense in the later versions of JFW. Most of the features are unneeded by the average user and the price is outrageous. I'd rather support NVDA if anything.
