Re: [JAWS-Users] JAWS 16 scripts with JAWS 17
Hi In JAWS 16 and earlier, the line ";#pragma usePoFile 0" (without the quotes), is simply a comment and is ignored when the script is compiled. But in JAWS 17, FS changed the default format for the compiled JSX file. By default, any JSX file that was compiled in JAWS 17 will not work in earlier versions of JAWS. So the above line tells the compiler in JAWS 17 to create the JSX file in the same format as earlier versions. Also I'm not aware of any problems copying JSX files from earlier versions into JAWS 17. -Original Message- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Dave Carlson Sent: Sunday, December 13, 2015 12:11 To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] JAWS 16 scripts with JAWS 17 Mike, This makes no sense, what FS posted.

Re: [JAWS-Users] JAWS 16 scripts with JAWS 17
Hi Dave, Well, what can I tell you?! This is what FS says, & there must be some kind of method to their madness, so to speak! I don't have the scripting knowledge to understand what will happen if the line of text is inserted into the JSS file being that the semicolon is at the beginning of the line of text. From my very limited script knowledge that semicolon basically tells Jaws to ignore that line of text so, if that's true I wouldn't have a clue as to what that would mean. I guess the important thing would be to know exactly where in the JSS file this line of text goes in order to know what effect it would have with prior scripts. My guess would be that this JSS text line insertion is only a temporary fix of some sort for Jaws 17 & earlier until FS gets the merge utility configured & ready for prime time use. Hopefully Señor Eric Damry will wade in on this topic & clarify for us what's happening. Take care.

First, it sounds like this makes a JAWS 17 script compatible with prior versions of JAWS, not forward-compatible. Second, that line, even without the quotes, is prefaced with a semicolon, which makes it simply a comment line, and not executed or compiled.

Compatibility Mode option has been removed from Script Manager and the -c command line switch has been removed from scompile.exe. To compile scripts that will work with prior versions of JAWS, you must now insert the following line without the quotes into your JSS file: ";#pragma usePoFile 0" list end Take care.
