Accessible tools

[Jacob Kruger]

Brian, I am also a fully bind python/PHP developer, and all I really bother 
with, aside from python interpreter itself is the text editor called 
edSharp:
http://www.empowermentzone.com/edsetup.exe

That's been developed by another blind guy who's name you might have heard 
in other circles, Jamal Mazrui, and it's just a programmers text editor that 
has a bit of extra functionality built in for use along with screen readers 
like jaws and NVDA, etc.

And, there are also some other general blind programmer mailing lists - I am 
on both program-l at freelists.org as well as a couple of other topic specific 
ones, but anyway.

Stay well
