Jim,
Do please let the list know what you learn once you get the softrock kit 
going.

Also, if it doesn't work well with JAWS or WindowEyes without scripting, try 
it with System Access from Serotek.

You can do that by going to www.satogo.com, where you can run their fully 
functional screen reader from the web page.

I have encountered some situations where System Access will let me run 
programs that JAWS won't touch without custom scripts.
