Here's what was posted a while back by Erik damery concerning the 3.30.26 patch and the 3.31 upgrade. Greetings all, Henter-Joyce has been very busy lately addressing many of the comments of the List serve users and of course the Beta testers, regarding the 3.3 version. While the 3.30.22 release in English has proven to be one of the most solid products we have released according to the feedback, there were certain situations and applications that caused some problems and we belief, for the most part, they are now resolved for the English release. More work is being done for the European Version and will be part of the 3.31 free update that will become the release version in other languages. See details on 3.31 below. The following will outline what we have made available for download, and our schedule for delivery of 3.3 to existing customers and new customers that have been waiting for weeks for delivery of 3.3. At the bottom of this message, you will find the text of the readme file for the patch and I encourage you to read this for details as to the differences between 3.30.22 and .25. How to get the Patch: All registered users authorized to receive 3.3 must install the 3.30.22 product which has been posted to our Web page for the past couple weeks. Once this version is installed, we encourage you to download and install the Patch for 3.30.25. This file is approximately 1.3 Meg and can be found on our Web Site at the following location: http://www.hj.com/JFW/JFW33Patch.html Please note: You must have the 3.3 product installed first. This patch will not install or upgrade earlier versions of JFW. If you are currently using JFW in a language other than English, please contact your distributor or continue to monitor our Web page for details on availability of 3.31 later this summer. How our distribution of 3.3 is proceeding: All SMA holders will be shipped the 3.3 Upgrade packages beginning Friday this week. Due to the fact that these packages are already produced and do not allow for another disk to be included, we will not ship the Patch in these boxes. All users will be encouraged to download the patch or request the patch on disk at no charge from HJ or your local dealer. They will be produced and distributed widely beginning Friday as well. Details on how to order the disk will be available next week. Please wait for that information before calling. All new products of JFW 3.3 will include the patch disk within the box. These shipments will begin to ship by Monday next week. An updated CD with the patch built in will also be produced over the next several weeks and once we get those in, they will become the shipping CD of course. We are continuing to work on the 3.31 update and expect to get that released during the summer months. All registered JFW 3.3 English users will receive this replacement CD at no charge as a free update. The exact details of the contents of 3.31 I will hold off writing at this time but it is our intention to provide the following in 3.31: - Improved access to the Web in IE using not only MSAA but greater access via the MS Object Model and more enhanced Scripting. - Script sets for a variety of Internet related tools such as Chat Programs, News Readers, and HTML editors. - Many improvements to Braille - Fixes for working with accented characters in other languages. - Support for Lotus Notes 5.0 using MSAA and extensive scripts. - More improvements to Outlook 98 and 2000 and other Office Apps. - Support of certain JAVA technologies demonstrated at CSUN this past March which SUN is scheduled to released shortly. readme.txt for patjfw33.exe, 5/19/99, ed This patch is intended only for users of JFW who have installed JFW version 3.30.22. If you have an older version of JFW installed, do a full install of JFW 3.3 to determine if the patch is required. If you already have JFW 3.3 installed, you should execute this patch only after checking the About box in the JFW Help menu and confirming that you have version 3.30.22 installed. Once the patch is installed, the corrected version will read 3.30.25. To install the patch, download and execute the file patjfw33.exe after installing the JFW 3.30.22 version. Please note: Exit all applications prior to executing the patch. However, you can install this patch with JFW 3.3 running. When you execute the patjfw33.exe, please wait while the file is preparing to run. This make take some time. Below is a complete list of files that will change when the patch is executed. Details of the changes included in this patch are found following the list of files. For a complete list of changes in JFW 3.3, please read the "What's New" section found in the JFW Help Menu. Files updated with the patch: Default Scripts: default.jgf, default.jkm, default.jsb, default.jsd, default.jsm, default.jss Outlook Express 4.0 Scripts: msimnui.jcf, msimnui.jkm, msimnui.jsb, msimnui.jsd, msimnui.jsh, msimnui.jsm, msimnui.jss Outlook Express 5.0 Scripts: msoe.jcf, msoe.jkm, msoe.jsb, msoe.jsd, msoe.jss Internet Explorer 5.0 Scripts: Browseui.jsb, Browseui.jss Real Player Scripts: RealPlay.jsb, RealPlay.jss HJConst.jsh jfw.cnt jfw.exe jfw.hlp JHook.dll Changes between versions 3.30.22 and 3.30.25: - When in a dialog box, the Read by Sentence or paragraph are now disabled to avoid problems on controls where the default sentence and paragraph reading keystrokes conflicted with standard Windows keystrokes. - On certain factory installs of Internet Explorer 4.0 and Outlook Express 4, Invalid Page Faults sometimes occurred when exiting these apps or sending messages. JFW has been adjusted to avoid this problem in these certain cases. - When using Internet Explorer 5.0 on pages containing Frames, when using CTRL+TAB to move to a frame, and then using Insert+F5 to reformat the frame, the entire page would go blank. This has been fixed. Please note: A problem still exists in IE 5 if you try to reformat a page while the PC focus is on the address edit combo box. You must move your focus into the page or into a frame before using INSERT+F5. - Improvements to Sentence and Paragraph reading have been made. This is true for SayAll and manual reading. - Help System Tree Views should now correctly identify books and topics, and properly announce the level of the tree view when moving up and down with the arrow keys. - Pressing INSERT+F1 twice within a second will now correctly launch the specific JFW Help topic for the application with focus, assuming one has been provided in JFW Help. - We have included a new English translation table for Grade 2 Braille that avoids spelling out certain symbols such as = < > { } \ and |. - The Keymap for the Alva Braille Display has been adjusted so that RouteBrailleToActive works. - The Script functions MoveToWindow and MoveToControl have been fixed. They now correctly move to windows, even if the windows contain no text. - Incremental movements of the mouse pointer caused by various scripts in JFW has been fixed. In previous versions the mouse was sometimes moved by the number of pixels based on the JFW Mouse Click Tolerance setting. This was detected when pressing the control key during SayAll.
