I well remember this coming up five or six years ago although I don't recall
most of the details.
The thing to be remembered is that this is a form of software hacking &
reverse engineering. The original machine code is being altered and strictly
speaking, even loosely speaking I suppose it is in breach of copyright.
It involves altering the distributed executable code of Jaws. Those familiar
with byte-to-byte editing of 386 Hex code will know how it is done. I expect
it is illegal.

Just a thought, but I'm wondering why your unwilling to share. If a person
is learning something like this and your at least willing to give the
warning that it may cause certain problems, then it's really up to them to
proceed or not proceed with the information. If they make the file unusable,
could they not repair jaws and go from there? I mean, at least to me, this
seems to be a listserve where people can ask questions and learn from one
another. It seems sort of odd to say yes you can do procedure X and then
saying up front, I ain't tellin you how. That kind of responce sounds
elitist at best and snobbish at worst. If your really worried about someone
being angry at you if they don't do the procedure correctly, then just don't
bring it up in the first place.
It just doesn't seem right for someone to decide what information another
person can or can't comprehend and use effectively. We all get responces
like this day in and day out from sighted people who second guess our
abilities. Doesn't make sense to do the same sort of thing to each other
here, too. We should all be adult enough to know our own level of comfort
with our computer tinkering skills. And we should all be adult enough to
know how to handle the consequences of anything we do decide to try.
This is only my opinion on the matter. I know others might disagree and
that's fine. I just wanted to put in my own two cents.

you can't do it with scripting. it can only be done with a hex
editor, and no I won't tell you what file to do it to or what to look
for to remove it.
Because if you don't know what you are doing the file can be come
unusable.
