Hi In my previous email, I should have referred to jsb files instead of jsx files.

But in JAWS 17, FS changed the default format for the compiled JSB file. By default, any JSB file that was compiled in JAWS 17 will not work in earlier versions of JAWS. So the above line tells the compiler in JAWS 17 to create the JSB file in the same format as earlier versions. Also I'm not aware of any problems copying JSB files from earlier versions into JAWS 17. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Dave Carlson Sent: Sunday, December 13, 2015 12:11 To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] JAWS 16 scripts with JAWS 17 Mike, This makes no sense, what FS posted. First, it sounds like this makes a JAWS 17 script compatible with prior versions of JAWS, not forward-compatible. Second, that line, even without the quotes, is prefaced with a semicolon, which makes it simply a comment line, and not executed or compiled.

Compatibility Mode option has been removed from Script Manager and the -c command line switch has been removed from scompile.exe. To compile scripts that will work with prior versions of JAWS, you must now insert the following line without the quotes into your JSS file: ";#pragma usePoFile 0" list end Take care.

It is supposed to make some scripts compatible with the new script manager. ----- Original Message ----- From: Greg Washington To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Sent: Saturday, December 12, 2015 9:19 PM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] JAWS 16 scripts with JAWS 17 Not sure if this will be a problem for you but the scripts for Quicken 2003 do not work in the latest update of Jaws 17 but do work in Jaws 16. I am in conversation with Freedom Scientific to see if this can be resolved.

Can I copy my scripts compiled under JAWS 16 into my JAWS 17 ENU folder and expect them to work properly? Anything in particular that I should look out for?
