That depends on the deal with APH. But they'll probably just eventually
replace Magic with ZoomText. Just like with Window-Eyes there's no
practical reason for them to maintain two magnifiers. Magic is probably
already on death row allowing only critical updates while ZoomText is
actively devel
Oh Sure. That's right. But what about the Magic and JAWS student editions?
Magic was used in Colombia with JAWS,and APH and FS launched student copies
of JAWS and Magic.

VFO bought AI Squared for two reasons.
1. To replace their useless Magic magnifier with the best selling ZoomText.
2. To kill their competition in the screen reading world, Window-Eyes.
End of story.

Debby,
The reason for the JAWS runtime in OpenBook is because FS bought
OpenBook many years ago. It was probably for a module to be used when
running OpenBook with JAWS.

I had asked about a keyboard layout and was told they would have to make

Butch,
Actually, VFO initially promised Doug they would create a Window-Eyes
keyboard layout and then they reneged on that promise, which is typical
and says a lot about who they are.

In reference to your previous message, no one has cracked JAWS. They're
cracking the authorization code scheme. They're not getting access to
one line of code for the program.
Regarding Office for Android and iOS? Those programs were not ported.
The definition of porting a program is
