Hi Steven.
The mailbox is a container, so You need to remove the paper from the mailbox
first. Type remove peace of paper from mailbox or some short varient there
of to get it, then you can read it. Same goes for other stuff in containers,
use remove from.
As to Jaws, I know the game has been tested with jaws and works fine with
the Jaws curser, but whether it does with jaws eleven or whether you need
something specific for it I don't know not using Jaws myself, though there
is going to be a compatibility section in the manual to offer advice on
playing the game with various screen readers.
Beware the Grue!
DArk.

Hi there.
I'm having trouble with the demo adventure, when I open the mail box and
try to get the paper, it tells me I can't get it, so I tried "read"ing it,
but that didn't work either.
am I doing something wrong? I'm also using jaws 11 and I can't review the
screen with the jaws cursor.

Hi Steven.
I'm replying to your message here to aide discussion. Firstly, I think you
might have got this a little wrong.
i'm not actually developing Eamon Deluxe, I've just helped with beta
testing and writing reviews, and am a fan of the system.
The developer is frank black, and you can reach him by the address in the
blog. Eamon always has, and will continue to be free.
the eamon site can be found at http://www.eamonag.org/index.html and there
is also an eamon deluxe page on audiogames.net, though bare in mind that
is severely out of date, sinse the old version 4 of Eamon deluxe from
2005, while just about runnable has some compatibility issues and annoying
habbits with screen readers and takes a little jiggering to get to work.
Needless to say though, these have been utterly fixed in the new version,
plus a lot of access features added that weren't there before. In Fact
frank is doing a great job in terms of access, even going as far as
describing Ascii graphics, as well as allowing full access to everything
in text (previously there was a graphical main hall that had some
advantages over the text one, but that is now fixed).
Lastly as to platforms, yes, it's a shame, but there is no way around it
unfortunately sinse as I said the alternative is dosbox. If you use
windows 7 pro microsoft have produced a virtual xp machine that can run 16
bit applications, or you can use software such as vmplayer. I'm however
not the person to ask about this question, which is indeed why i have
moved this discussion onto the audeasy list, sinse there are more
qualified people than me here who can talk about it.
Hope this answers your question.
All the best,
Dark.
