I've been watching this list and a few others for a while under a friend's 
account. I'm new to replying, not to JAWS, but from what I understand, the 
current JAWS is 3.3.  The next version is being worked on and is 3.31.  A 
trial went out a few weeks ago to us public folk for download to check out 
and try with our diverse software we use (3.31.22).  Another version was 
posted Friday  (3.31.35) which may be what is released.  WE, as JAWS users, 
get a chance to try it and say if there is anything serious.  WE get a say in 
the process!

I think the beta testing goes to a select group first, they find a lot of 
stuff, then to the public when the really big stuff is mostly ironed out.  My 
friend works for a software co. and this seems standard.  Even with quality 
assurance departments not evry bug and problem with every program and other 
podunk software can be found.  If you don't want to test the software and see 
it before it's released - to be the first kid on the block to play with it - 
then stop stressing out and don't worry about it.  Wait for the final version.

Humbly,
Aggie

<<JFW listers,  please excuse my ignorance, but I am a bit confused!  Yes,
even more than usual!  Is the a JFW version 3.3, a version 3.31, a version
3.31.31 and now, a version 3.31.35 Release Candidate 2???

What in the hell is going on?  Why is HJ putting up program versions full
of problems and bugs for us to find for them.  Doesn't HJ have competent
enough people to find their programming problems an bugs?  If we are going
to do their work for them, then, it seems as if some of us should be hired
as paid beta testers.  >>
