Lloyd,

I use Jaws and looked at N1MM a year or 2 back.  Didn't seem like I 
could set it up without sighted help, so I let it go.

I've been using Writelog for almost a dozen years with Jaws  . The real 
problem isn't lack of accessibility, but more the multitude of options 
and complexity of setup that can drive even sighted hams nuts.

A few weeks ago, I helped a blind friend of Lou WA3MIX set up Writelog 
with Window Eyes, FT-5000, and Microham USB for cw and FSK.   Took 
several e-mails, and a couple of phone calls, but  he got up and running 
  in time to put 100 Q's in the log for WPX RTTY.   The next weekend he 
logged over 1000 in the ARRL CW.  He didn't bother setting up the .wav 
files that Writelog  can use to tell you what field you are in, dupes, 
mults, error fields,  etc.,  but  for use with Jaws, I find the .wav 
files are needed.

73, Steve KW3A
