fyi, console mode apps are not "just like DOS apps except they use
Windows resources".  they are hugely different on a technical level,
*especially* when it comes to screen output.  the screen output
mechanism is nothing like DOS programs.  however, the output ends up
*looking* the same as a DOS box, but that's about where the similarity
ends.  however, a screen reader can use several Win32 commands to access
the screen output very easily, so yes it should be a piece of cake for a
screen reader to work.  not sure why screen readers are slower on GUI
and console apps than on DOS apps, but it doesn't surprise me given what
the screen reader has to do.

Subject: GUI version of TSE?
Hanspeter,
 
I also use a Braille display and I CAN use Tse/32. I haven't baught
it, since it's slower than TSE/pro 2.5 on my PC with Windows 95, but I
had no problems using the demo version. You should be able to use
TSE/32 with a Windows screen reader, that supports DOS boxes. Or you
could use it with a DOS screen reader in a Windows 95 DOS box. Console
mode programs like TSE/32 behave like DOS programs, except that they
use Windows resources, so they have to be run under Windows. But their
screen output style is identical to DOS programs.
