Hello Ac. Hmm, I'm slightly confused as to why those links weren't working (I did check them myself), but never mind, at least you've got them working now.
Ra is a compressed fie format like Zip or 7Z, and you'll need to extract the files from the compressed Ra archive in order to play them. this isn't a problem though. Just download a decent unzipping program (the one I use is 7Zip), which you can find oncemore on the Whitestick.co.uk site on the program downloads page at http://www.whitestick.co.uk/download when you come up against a Ra archive, just download it, then do you screen reader's right click iquivolent on it or press the application key to bring up the menue with "open", "properties" "cut", "paste" etc. You'll find asub folder there called 7Zip, and a couple of options to extract the files. Tads is another sort of game file format (probably the other most common one beside Zcode). You'll need a Win tads interpretter to play them. check on the text adventure page from White stick or the other links and you'll find Win tads there. Dsk files are I believe, direct old emulated disk files from various old computer sof the 80s, such as the Comador 64, Spectrum, Vic-20, or the good old Comador Amigar. Playing these sorts of files rrequires emulation of those old machines, which seems to be a rather complex process, and probably not one you can attempt with a screen reader, so I'd advise steering clear of those file formats for now. Emulation might be something I'll investigate my self at some point (it's on my things to do list), and when I've worked out how it's done, and how screen readers work with the various emulation programs, I'l let people here know. Hth again! Bewar the Grue!
