Hi Thomas,
Actually in dos there was a specific way to put text on the screen so that
every single dos screen reader would speak it automatically. It was called
writing to the consul or bios of the computer. It looked like;
OPEN "o", #1, "con"
LOCATE 24, 50: PRINT #1, " Jim Kitchen"

I don't think that is very fair. This has nothing to do with X-Sight

Just a quick addition to my prior post. From looking at the sight

Hi Jim,
Yeah, I know. In C++ they call this streaming. You can open a file

Hi Bryan,
That's because the bug doesn't effect everyone or happen all the time.
I myself didn't notice this bug until very recently when testing and
finally confirmed it. However, the very next game I played it didn't
happen. Its one of those runtime errors that is very hard to track
down because

I don't mean to be a problem with people but sometimes you just can't

full version, it just said it was a demo.

The point you fail to recognize is this: Other people put out a message
about where to find a game, or if there is a full version rather than just a
demo, too. However, you have put out countless such messages after it has
been suggested to you on numerous occasions to find out for yourself,
Blindness has nothing to do with the responses. Common sense does.

Yes, of course it does. All cout does is stream text directly to the

generally Window-eyes reads the text as soon as it is printed to the
