Well, it's installed - managed to get a sighted person to have a look at a
screen snapshot at some stage, and it's icon was showing up somewhere, but,
really not sure how to launch it, configure it, etc. etc. myself, since even
performing jaws on-screen OCR on VMWare player window hasn't let me
find/activate it as of yet.
Stay well

The only version of windoweyes that will work with win3.1 is version 1. I
beta tested it for a year on that op.

Josh, one of my VMWare images have here is some version of dos, with
windows 3.1, but, have never been able to do much with it, since couldn't
manage to get the apparent installation of window eyes to run inside
windows 3.1 myself, and have never bothered to get sighted help to handle
that, since it's just always been something I never bothered deleting,
partly since it's not all that large in file size.
However, wonder if something like this tiny talk screenreader might
work/run within it - but, again, wouldn't be 100% sure how to copy it
across to virtual file system, since while I can sort out VMWare file
shares with virtual versions of windows, really don't know exactly how dos
would even try to handle that...<smile>

hi thomas,
do you have speakup installed in ubuntu, or do you use archLinux? I like
speakup. it is the closest thing I can come to using true DOS.

Hi Josh,
Honestly, I'm not surprised. The only way I have ever managed to run
any old Dos applications etc the last few years is by using Dosemu
with Speakup. It isn't a perfect solution, but it does work. I have
managed to play some games and run certain apps like Wordperfect 5.1
with Speakup. However, that requires a Linux distribution like Vinux,
Ubuntu, or some other distribution with Speakup, Espeakup, and Dosemu.
Otherwise I don't think you are going to find a better solution for
running old Dos games and apps. I've already tried running copies of
Jaws for Dos etc in Dosbox before all to no success.
Cheers!
