Some people have reported bugs to Apple using a bug reporting system
through the Apple Developer Connection. These bugs have an
identification number used by Apple. If you want to report bugs to
Apple this way; I think you can get a free online subscription to the
Apple Developer Connection.
I don't remember if you get an answer using the Feedback mechanism in
programs like Safari. If you do, it probably has a similar number.
This is one of the numbers I need.
Does this make sense?

What is a bug report and how do we find the numbers?

OK, one more time...
Here is my letter to our campus Mac guru and his response. As you
can see, he would like Apple bug numbers for Apple problems and any
correspondence you have had with third party vendors about
Voiceover compatibility. Please send this information to me off
list at [EMAIL PROTECTED] and I'll forward it to him. And if you
haven't filed bugs or asked vendors about Voiceover
compatibility,please do so and forward the results to me.

Hello Marshall:
I am checking with my contacts at Apple about options to give
feedback & support.
Have you filed bug reports on each of these Apple products? This is
really the first step in of the process, we really need bugs filed
on each application.
If not, please do so and then email me the bug numbers.
In regards, to third-party software have you emailed the companies
about the issue?
If so, could you email me the email & their response?
I know this sounds like a lot to due, but its the first step of the
process.

Hello Richard,
I'm sorry it's taken me so long to get back to you about the
conversation we had about Voiceover compatibility in third party
programs after the July Mac Managers meeting. Here are the
results of my posts to the blind Macintosh user lists:
The third party programs mentioned were Microsoft Office, Adobe
Acrobat, Dream Weaver Cs, BBEdit, 4D, Filemaker, the Talking
communities and Chatterbox chat clients, Nissus Writer and Pro
Tools.
Due to the wording of the post, I also received a surprising
number of comments about Apple products. iTunes topped the list
of problem programs but people would also like the programs in
iLife and iWork suites to be made Voiceover compatible. Final Cut
Pro and XCode tools (particularly Interface Builder) finished off
the list of Apple software. On the hardware side, people would
like an accessible iPod and iPhone.
I realize this is more than you expected. How do you suggest we
proceed?
Thanks,
Marshall
