i guess I would have to call this an alpha! I got an idea of how to attack
this problem about the night before last. So I have not tested it
extensively
yet. It still has a problem sometimes finding the VMware Player menu whemn
there is not a VM running. This is the FindString statement that I
previously mentioned. Sometimes moving away and back from the application
with Alt + F4 allows it to work. Not sure whhy. Perhaps I should revert to
using the simple JAWS cursor movement commands that Chris originally had
used.
I figure these scripts would be helpful to the Vinux crowfd as well. I
threw together a crude, utilitarian, hand coded web page where the zip and
self installing packages can be downloaded. Please give them a try, provide
feedback and let me know where more effort or features are needed.
