Re: some questions about gnopernicus and gnome

Hi.
The only office packages that work with gnopernicus is Openoffice v1.1 and
Staroffice 7.0.
In order to get these office applications to work with speech you must have
the j2sdk 1.4.2, the gnome java-access-bridge compiled and installed from
cvs,  and all the proper orbitrc entries in your .orbitrc file.
Mozilla is still a trouble spot for me as well. I myself don't get much
accessibility from it yet,  and I have not completely found the most
accessible setup for Mozilla myself.
As for email that also has some problems. Balsa is accessible, but it seams
several of us have troubles getting smtp working in balsa.
If you can get passed the smtp problems balsa might be your best choice.
