Hi.
I recieved this from the Eamon delux announce mailing list, and to forstall
questions, see http://audiogames.net/db.php?id=Eamon+delux
I'm not however sure whether or not this is goodnews, sinse with what the
developer says about Doxbox, I'm not sure if this also means the new version of
Eamon delux will be as inaccessible as the Apple Ii emulation that most people
use to play eamon. I don't however want to mail the developer and tell him
false information, because I'm not absolutely certain as to the ins and outs of
why a screen reader will! work with a dos application in xp, but not with
dosbox.
I really hope this is a step forward in tersm of access to eamon but I'm not
absolutely sure, and perhaps Tom or someone with more technical knolidge than
me could contact the Eamon delux developer and ask the right questions.

EAMON DELUXE STATUS UPDATE 26 DEC 2011
First off,
I apologize for the long delay in Eamon Deluxe activity. Real life took over
and I had to shelve the project for the past 5 years or so. Also, due to a
password change error, I was locked out of the Eamon Deluxe email account for
several years as well. I have taken steps to ensure the email problem won't
happen again and I am always happy to hear feedback about Eamon Deluxe, answer
any questions and help as best as I can with any technical issues.
I am pleased to announce that I have been working on an updated version of
Eamon Deluxe that is about 80% completed right now. I expect to release it for
download sometime in January of 2012.
Included updates so far:
* Initial installation presets to best screen mode, ignoring obsolete graphics
modes. (Can still be changed via control panel for your amusement)
* Will be fully compatible with ALL versions of Windows and hopefully Mac.
(Thanks to the makers of the wonderful DOSBox emulator!)
* (Hopefully) all bad email and contact info has been updated or removed from
programs to avoid confusion.
* ALL Eamon Deluxe sets will be included and listed in the proper adventure
number order. This includes partially finished sets and mini adventure
placeholders for the completely unfinished ones.
* Restored fancy hi-res intro to "The Magic Kingdom".
* Various random bug fixes and some minor tweaks.
* Adventure list updated: Added newest Eamons, some missing author info and
"The Training Ground" was moved from Classics Vol 4 to Beginner's Adventures
where it belongs.
* All the previously converted but unreleased Eamon Adventure conversions I had
in my work directory will be included (almost 20 adventures!) Below is the list
