I'm sure Octavian will correct me if I misrepresent it, but I think you have it exactly backwards: GUIs are a lot easier to use for vision impaired people than commandlines, as long as the GUI has proper accessibility support. That means the GUI needs to be navigable using TABs, and all controls need to have proper captions that announce wherever you are inside a dialog. That way you can quickly navigate to whatever field you need without having to "read" all of the screen contents. The commandline however lacks this kind of structures, so you basically have to listen to the screen reader to read out *everything*, or you abort and are back at the prompt... I think much of the accessibility control is provided by the Windows GUI libs, so the support comes there "for free". That is, I think wxPerl has proper accessibility support on Windows, but not on Linux, so Cava Packager would probably fine for Octavian on Windows. Cheers, -Jan
