Hi George, et al:

Thanks, George.  Yes, JAWS10.0512 - full version is in the updates list for 
those using beta 2 of JAWS10.  That said, I do of course have JAWS9 onboard 
(and would advise anyone else thinking of upgrading to keep JAWS9 at least 
for now, while possibly using JAWS10 to find out what it can and can't do 
well.)  One of the areas, as far as I can see, that it presently lacks is 
the Duxbury scripts we've got used to.  The performance of earlier versions 
of JAWS, however, is unaffected by this particular lacuna in JAWS10.  I was 
not using beta 2 very much - I didn't download beta 1 - of JAWS 10.   I do 
quite a bit of braille proof-reading in duxbury.  However, there are other 
things I like about JAWS10 in other programs, now that i've been using it 
more.  I'm Looking forward, therefore, to pronouncements on forthcoming 
Duxbury support in JAWS10.

Hi Flor,

Full release of JAWS 10 was not notified to anyone.

And it is always very difficult for developers faced with beta
versions, even if they appear to work OK.

That said, you can be sure that Duxbury will be looking at it and will
advise accordingly.

George.

Hi,

JAWS10 has been released officially today (Monday the 3rd of
november).  Are the Duxbury scripts present in versions 8 and 9 of
JAWS also present in JAWS10?  (I'm using DBT10.6.  I don't think they
are.  there are no scripts listed in the dbtw.jss file.  neither do
the alt-7 and alt-9 keystrokes
work.)  Was this an omission on FS's part, or was it deliberate?  I
have heard no mention of Duxbury support in JAWS10 on this list during
the public beta process.  Any comments  Is it any different with 10.7
and JAWS10?
