Re: [libreoffice-accessibility] Laws and standards

Hi :)

I was just joking around.  You were fine.  Questionning and flagging up 
potential problems is part of why linux and other OpenSource projects are so 
much more robust and secure than proprietary programs.  We put things together 
in so many different combinations and tweaked in different ways during beta 
testing so that we can really push things.  So, it's all good :)
Regards from
Tom :)

That's great news!  I had been told that swing worked better in Gnome
because of something to do with at-spi.  I remember being rather
disappointed at the time since I had looked forward to being able to
use Eclipse with Orca.  I even downloaded it and set it up on my Vinux
3.0 machine running Orca 2.3? (running 2.91.3 now, sorry) but ran into
trouble.  It kept crashing on me.  When I inquired of a friend, this
is what he told me and I wound up looking into Emacspeak for this
task.  I hope you don't mind, but, I took the liberty of Googling you.
I will take what you say over my obviously uninformed friend any day
of the week and twice on Sunday. Allow me, please to take a moment to
thank you personally for all that you do with regard to Orca.  Also, I
would like to apologize to the list and take back my uninformed post.
I promise to be less gullable  in future about such things.

Thanks.
Alex M
