[nfbcs] Support of screen readers in lenex OS

[John G Heim]

Generally, a program won't run on both Windows and linux. It's possible 
for a developer to put out versions of their programs for Windows and 
linux but they are essentially different programs that look and act the 
same. With a screen reader, that would be nearly impossible. So jaws 
does not work on linux.

The only actively developed screen reader for the linux graphical user 
interface is orca. Orca has an extremely active development and support 
community.  If you are interested in trying linux and orca, I strongly 
suggest you get connected with that community. To do that, join the orca 
support list at orca-list-subscribe at gnome.org.
