>Henter-Joyce, Inc. has announced that JAWS for DOS 2.31, the product that
>brought the company to prominence in the access technology industry in
>1988, is now available as a free download from the internet. The company
>has now discontinued sales and shipments of JAWS for DOS. Those who wish to
>download and use the free software will require one of the many hardware
>speech synthesizers supported by JAWS for DOS.
>
>"Most people who use computers, including those who are blind and visually
>impaired, have migrated from DOS to Windows in recent years, and that's
>where we have focused our development efforts," said Henter-Joyce General
>Manager Jerry Bowman. "The decreased demand for DOS-based software, coupled
>with the overwhelming demand for our Windows-based screen reader, JAWS for
>Windows, makes this a good decision for us and for our customers."
>
>In order to better serve those using current versions of Henter-Joyce's
>JAWS for Windows (JFW) screen reader software, the company has discontinued
>technical support of JAWS for DOS. Technical support for JFW versions 1.X
>and 2.X will also be discontinued, with the exception of JFW 2.00.29 being
>used with Microsoft Windows 3.1. Support for JFW 3.2 and 3.0 will be
>continued as usual. The discontinuation of support for earlier versions of
>JFW will ensure that users of more current JFW software will receive
>technical support in a more timely and efficient manner.
>
>A link to the freeware download (with installation instructions) can be
>found on the Henter-Joyce web site at
>www.hj.com/SoftwareDownload/JFDOSINSTDNLD.html.
