Hi Zak. I've been using Hal's virtual focus, whicfh generally works fine for reviewing anything with text in it and performing mouse opperations.
It was the slowdown, ----- both of load times and of speech that was getting on my whick though with fallthrough unfortunately. I should possibly try it again though, or see if I could sort the issue out. All the best, Dark. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Zachary Kline" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Gamers Discussion list" <gamers@audyssey.org> Sent: Monday, July 16, 2007 8:24 AM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] An appreciation for Fallthru > Hello, > I can run it under Dosbox, yes, if I first install a DOS screen reader. > This isn't necesarily a trivial or easy job.
