Just a couple of questions:
If this software was ported over would it be for the X-windows 
interface?  Although I don't do much with linux besides logging into 
a shell every now and then, it seems to me that a hole new consol 
mode interface would have to be written.  This may not be an issue if 
the X-windows screen reader is released soon.  How far is the X-
windows screen reader from completion?  I can't really tell from 
looking at the progress reports.  Just a couple of thoughts.
