[NFBCS] Jaws and shell scripts

[Louis Maher]

Hello Tracy,

Again, based on old knowledge, there is a Linux program, called Samba, which can map Linux drives to a Windows machine.  This would let you access Linux directories as if you were using the Windows File explorer.  In this case, you can edit Linux files with things like Visual Studio.

Hello Tracy,

While I have not programmed since 2015, The SSH windows client SecureCRT "https://www.vandyke.com/products/securecrt/", works well with JAWS.  This will give you VT100 access to Linux.  Using the Linux "screen" program, you can make as many sessions as you wish.  VI is a text editor and works well with SecureCRT which works with JAWS.  Note that you will have to experiment with the Linux cursor to get it to blink as fast as possible so that JAWS can find it.  You may also have to experiment with the shape of the Linux cursor so that JAWS can find it.

In 2015, JAWS had trouble finding the Putty cursor.  I believe that Vispero is now interested in Putty.  You can ask Vispero about this.

I'm talking with my boss about ways to get out of the backwater we're being swept into.  One possibility is to learn how to write scripts that run on a server to move files around.  He says he uses Bass shell scripting and VI editor for the work.  He also says he uses Putty, which I remember is a kind of terminal emulator and has Jaws scripts.

Do VI editor and Bass shell script work with Jaws, if anyone knows?

Thanks.

Tracy
