I am a little concerned about your use of the word proof. Window-Eyes
scripting is still a new feature. Besides, WE7 is still going through
the Beta phase. As a programmer I can confirm that the possibilities
offered by wE7 in terms of scripting are very extensive, in fact,
miles beyond what JFW will ever achieve. To compare a product like
JAWS which has had scripting as an integral part of its makeup for
over a decade with Window-Eyes which has just entered the scripting
domain is unfair and frankly rather disingenuous. JFW scripts for
Eudora have existed for a long time. No doubt they've had time to
mature, so to speak, through upgrades and bug fixes. Window-Eyes
offers sufficient accessibility to Eudora straight out of the box
with no special scripts.
The problems cited in your email are in programming terms trivial.
I'm certain that given enough time we'll be able to find suitable
solutions for them with a script or two. :-)
Window-Eyes is by no means perfect. There is no such thing as a
perfect screen reader. Both Window-Eyes and JAWS have their strengths
and weaknesses. For me the stability factor in Window-Eyes is its
biggest strength. Of course, with scripting we're bound to get one or
two problems but the product at its core shouldn't be any different.
I should also point out that JfW is just another software product and
as such prone to the same issues which its proponents fail to
highlight. I wonder if that has anything to do with the rather
trigger-happy people in FL who declare Jihad on anyone who dares to
look at their products sideways.

will cause the speech to repeat the number 160 over and over until you
stop it. This is with both firefox and ie7. It happens with the
version of eloquence in window-eyes It also happens with dec access
32. I don't know exactly where the 160 is coming from because when
you stop reading it is a few lines up.
