[nfbcs] Jaws and Cygwin

[Kevin Fjelsted]

Kevin;
If you can run the program directly on Unix or Linux you may have better luck using an SSH program on either Windows or Mac.
I believe there are a number of SSH solutions that are accessible to windows screen readers.
The Mac Terminal program is totally accessible to the native Voiceover screen reader for use as an SSH client on the Mac.

The lab PI suggested using cygwin to run the program. However, I ran into a few problems trying to use cygwin. When I open the cygwin terminal, I cannot get jaws (version 12) to read the output of what I type. The only way I can get such information is by pressing insert+b to read the whole window, or by selecting the entire window and pasting it into notepad. It doesn't even seem like the terminal is doing anything when I enter inputs (though I know it is doing something). Does anyone have any suggestions for anything I can do to start to get the terminal to behave more like an actual command line with jaws?
