[nfbcs] Accessible editor for C++/Java/Python and their tutorials

[Jude DaShiell]

There was effort toward that goal before windows 10 and bash for windows 
became available and from what I understand too many technical problems 
were encountered.  Two possible vectors I think are now open to anyone 
with capacity to explore them.  First bash for windows using windows 10.
  Second for earlier versions of windows and possibly windows 10 cygwin 
and cygwin's bash shell may be a good starting platform.  With emacspeak 
more dependencies will have to install correctly before that works no 
matter which vector is chosen.  One thing that ought to be found out is 
whether the cygwin vector is better than bash on windows 10 and whether 
cygwin with all necessary dependencies installed can work with emacspeak 
on earlier versions of windows.  Any accessibility bugs ought to be 
communicated to the emacspeak list and may get forwarded to 
help-gnu-emacs if emacs itself is causing them in that environment.  For 
anyone interested in subscribing to help-gnu-emacs all you need do is 
try sending a message to the list with a question or bug you found and 
you'll be contacted by the list owner and your subscription process will 
be carried on from there.  To read about work done on emacspeak and 
windows google emacspeak windows and to subscribe to the emacspeak list 
send email to emacspeak-request at cs.vassar.edu.  This testing is probably 
best done in an accessibility lab setting too.
