Greetings! 


1) A security problem has been reported in JAWS 10 and 11, concerning those
situations where anybody with restricted administrative access uses the
computer with JAWS. Fixes have been produced for both JAWS versions. You can
use the Search for Updates feature to get them. If you are waiting for a JFW
11 cd in the mail, it will contain the security fix.

2) As he has done for the last several JAWS versions, Jamal Mazrui has used
tools such as his chm2txt package to create a structured text version of the
documentation for JFW version 11 to make it easier to read and search.

3) I usually avoid speculative and pre-release announcements, but we'll
definitely want to be following this one. Around the end of November, KNFB
will come out with a free book reader, working on pc's, windows Mobile
phones and the iPhone with other versions to folow, that will give users
acces to over a million accessible books they will be able to purchase.

Would you like to receive text-only versions of the Tidbits and Flying
Blind, LLC Newsletters? If so, find the link at the bottom of every
Newsletter titled "Update Profile/E-Mail Address", and check this

interested people (but make sure they don't already receive it; a lot do!)
When doing this, please have the courtesy to cite your source, perhaps
directing them to the tidbits website (see below.) 


Tidbits is intentionally concise, but I know a lot of people don't
understand many of the items because little explanation is given. If a
Tidbit brings up a question in your mind, feel free to ask, and I'll answer
as time, knowledge and inclination permit.
