[Blindtlk] Minor Update for JAWS Available

[David Andrews]

>We just posted the minor update to JAWS 8 for the general public. 
>This update will be available from the Auto Update feature or by 
>downloading the full build of JAWS 8 and installing it over the 
>current version of JAWS 8 they have installed now.
>
>Anyone that installed the update posted the end of February 
>(8.0.1163) will not necessarily need to install this one. The 
>changes since 1163 (listed below) are primarily for customers who 
>have Windows 2000 so it is not critical that everyone get this one. 
>Anyone that did not install 1163 update, will get all of those 
>changes by updating now till 1173. It has all the updates in fact, 
>since the initial post back in November.
>
>By the second week of April, all shipping JAWS products and Demo 
>Products will be using this version on the CD.
>
> From the FS Web Pages, here are the fixes for this update:
>
>
>Fixes in JAWS Version 8.0.1177 (Third automatic update)
>
>
>
>The following items were fixed in this update:
>    * Resolved an issue specific only to Windows 2000, which 
> involved tabbing in Internet Explorer 6, Adobe Acrobat Reader, or 
> HTML help. JAWS would use the name of the first link or control it 
> encountered for all subsequent links or controls on the page.
>    * Fixed a problem where JAWS was not recognizing the Review 
> Conversation History commands, ALT+1, ALT+2, ALT+3, and so on, in 
> AOL Instant Messenger. Now when you issue these AIM commands, JAWS 
> places focus on the chosen conversation.
>    * The System Requirements that appear in the JAWS Help file have 
> been modified to include Windows Vista.
>
>Note: Another update to the public beta for Windows Vista will be 
>posted in the next few weeks. It will be available using the Check 
>for Updates feature located in the JAWS Help menu.
