1.   SETTING UP JAWS ON YOUR HARD DISK

     Windows version 3.1 or Windows 95 must be set up on
your computer before you set up JAWS.  Follow the
instructions provided by the Microsoft Corporation for
proper Windows setup.  At a minimum, you need a 386 PC with
at least 4 MB of system memory.  Your speech synthesizer can
be installed after JAWS setup.

     The set up of JAWS is managed by a setup program, which
can be started from Within Windows or from a DOS prompt.
Whenever possible, it is best to start the setup program
from within Windows.  The process for doing a first time
setup, an evaluation program setup, or doing a program
update is almost identical.

Setting Up JAWS from within Windows

     After Windows starts, place JFW diskette number 1
in your diskette drive.  From Program Manager or File
Manager, activate the Files menu by pressing {ALT+F},
and then Pressing {R} to activate the Run dialog.  At the
Command edit window type either:  A:SETUP or
B:SETUP, and press {ENTER}.  The "A:" and "B:" refer
to the diskette drive which contains your JAWS program
diskette.

     Before files are copied to your hard disk, you are
asked a series of questions about your computer, your
setup preferences, and your speech synthesizer.  During
the process of copying files, you may also be asked about
Braille devices, language options, and automatic starting
of JAWS.  Each step in the setup process contains easy to
understand instructions.  If you are setting up JAWS for
the first time or setting up an evaluation version of JAWS,
then you must move an authorization key to your hard
disk drive after all files have been copied so that JAWS can
function properly.  Information about moving authorization
keys is presented in the next section.

Installing JAWS from a DOS Prompt

     Place JFW diskette number 1 into your diskette
drive.  Type one of the following commands at a DOS
prompt and press {ENTER}:  A:SETUP or B:SETUP.  The
"A:" and "B:" refer to the disk drive which contains your
JAWS program diskette.

     Before files are copied to your hard disk, you are
asked a series of questions about your computer, setup
preferences, and your speech synthesizer.  During the
process of copying files, you also are asked about your
preferences for Braille devices and language options.  Each
step in the setup process contains easy to understand
instructions.  If you are setting up JAWS for the first time
or setting up an evaluation version of JAWS, then you
must move an authorization key to your hard disk drive
after all files have been copied so that JAWS can function
properly.  Information about moving authorization keys is
presented in the next section.


2.   MOVING AN AUTHORIZATION KEY

     An authorization key must be present on your hard
disk drive or on a diskette in your disk drive in order for
JAWS to work properly.  If an authorization key is not
present, then JAWS will stop talking shortly after it is
loaded.  An Authorization Key is simply computer
information that must be present on your hard disk when
JAWS for Windows starts.  If you have not exited the
JAWS setup program, then please do so now by following
the instructions on your screen.

     Authorization keys are stored on your original JFW
diskette number 5.  IMPORTANT!  This diskette must be
in your diskette drive before you use either of the
commands shown below.  If you are using a diskette drive
other than A: drive and your JAWS program was set up on
a hard disk drive other than C:, then modify the commands
shown below as needed.  The "A:" in the command
identifies the location of your JFW program diskette, and
the "C:" identifies the location where JAWS program files
were copied.  You will be asked to confirm the transfer of
the authorization key.

     If you are working from a DOS prompt, then type
one of the following commands and press {ENTER}.

     A:\EVMOVE A: C: or B:\EVMOVE B: C:

     If you are working from within Windows, then use
the Files menu of Program Manager or File Manager to
activate the Run dialog.  Type one of the following
commands in the Command edit field of the Run dialog
and press {ENTER}.

     A:\WINMOVE A: C: or B:\WINMOVE B: C:


3.   STARTING JAWS

     Begin by removing diskettes from your diskette
drives and rebooting your PC.  If you have not installed
your speech synthesizer, then you should do so now.  If
your synthesizer uses a software device driver, then this
software must be installed before you can use JAWS.
Please follow the installation instructions that were
included with your synthesizer to ensure proper hardware
and software installation.

Automatic Loading of JAWS

     If you started the JAWS setup program from within
Windows, then a JAWS icon may have been added to your
Program Manager Startup group.  If a JAWS icon is in
your Startup group, then JAWS starts whenever Windows
starts, and you do not need to do anything else to load
JAWS.  If you decide that you no longer want JAWS to
start automatically, then delete the JAWS icon from the
Startup group.

Manual Loading of JAWS from Within Windows

     If JAWS does not start automatically when Windows
starts, then you can start JAWS manually in one of several
ways.  You can choose the JAWS icon in the JFW program
group of Program Manager, or you can use the Windows
Run dialog.

     To start JAWS from the JFW program group of
Program Manager, press {CONTROL+TAB} until the JFW
group is activated, use your arrow keys to highlight the
JAWS icon, and press {ENTER} to start JAWS.

     To start JAWS with the Run dialog, press {ALT+F}
to activate the Files menu, and then press {R} to display
the Run dialog.  In the Command edit field, type
C:\JFW\JFW.EXE and press {ENTER}.

Manual Loading of JAWS from a DOS Prompt

     If you installed JAWS from a DOS prompt, then you
will need to type a command at a DOS prompt to load
Windows and JAWS.  A batch file for loading Windows and
JAWS was installed in your \JFW subdirectory for this
purpose.  At a DOS prompt type RUNJFW and then press
{ENTER}.

     When JAWS is installed from a DOS prompt, the
setup program does not create a JFW program group in
Program Manager.  If you wish, you can create a JFW
program group and add a JAWS icon to the Program
Manager Startup group by using the New dialog in the
Files menu of Program Manager.


4.   PROBLEMS WITH STARTING JAWS

     If you heard words being spoken by your speech
synthesizer when any of the above methods were used to
load JAWS, then you are ready to learn about using JAWS.
Don't worry if you did not understand the words that were
spoken.  There are several adjustments which may be
needed to make the speech of your synthesizer more
intelligible.  At this point, our goal is simply to have the
JAWS software ready for use.

     If JAWS starts up and immediately speaks an error
message that tells you that an authorization key is not
present, then you must follow the procedure for installing
an authorization key.  JAWS stops speaking shortly after
this error message is spoken.  Follow the steps in section
2 (above) or in Appendix 2 of this booklet to make an
authorization key available for JAWS.

     If JAWS does not speak any information or Windows
does not load, then please see the troubleshooting
suggestions presented in Appendix 3 of this booklet.

5.   REGISTERING JAWS

     Once the set up of JAWS software is complete, you
are ready to register JAWS.  When you register JAWS, you
confirm your eligibility to receive technical support from
Henter-Joyce, Inc.  Please register today!

To Register:

     After starting Windows, place the JAWS
Registration Disk in your diskette drive.  From Program
Manager or File Manager, activate the Files menu by
pressing {ALT+F}.  Press {R} to activate the Run dialog and
type C:\JFW\REGISTER in the command edit window.
Press {ENTER} when you are done typing.

     Once you answer the questions asked by the
registration program, your answers will be copied to the
JAWS Registration Disk.  You must then send the diskette
back to Henter-Joyce, Inc.  A self-addressed postage-paid
diskette mailer is included in your JAWS software package
for this purpose.  The diskette mailer is made of cardboard
and usually has the name "Henter-Joyce" printed in
Braille.


6.   CUSTOMER SUPPORT

     Our training tapes, manuals, quick reference cards,
and on-line help system address the needs of computer
users with a wide range of experience.  If you are a new
computer user, then you should plan on using our training
tapes to learn about JAWS and Windows.

     Our manuals are available in print and in the JAWS
on-line help system.  Chapter 1 of the JAWS manual
describes how to use JAWS.  Appendix A in our manual
provides a solid introduction to the Windows environment
as experienced from the perspective of a visually impaired
computer user.  A large amount of technical information
for those who wish to set up JAWS to respond to the
greatest challenges of Windows is available in the
appropriate user language subdirectory in
\JFW\TECNOTES, and in our on-line help system.  The
on-line help system also contains the entire text from our
manual.  A Quick Reference Help system is available to
help with learning to use JAWS.  The Program Changes
help system provides information about program changes.
Information about using the help system is presented on
the JAWS training tapes, and in a Help Tips section in
each of our help systems.  The information we provide for
using help makes using help quick and easy.  To start the
JAWS on-line help system, press {INSERT+J} to activate
the JAWS application window, press {ALT+H} to display
the Help menu, then choose the appropriate menu item.

     Our manuals are also provided in text files.  The
text files for North American English are in the
\JFW\MANUALS\ENU subdirectory.  Text files for other
languages are in other user language subdirectories of
\JFW\MANUALS.  Names for the user language
subdirectories follow the standard abbreviations used by
Microsoft Windows.

     Our customer support staff provide technical
assistance for the setup of JAWS and other Henter-Joyce
products.  We cannot provide free customer support for
products we do not produce or sell.  Customer support for
those who are using evaluation copies of JAWS is limited
to program setup.  On-going customer support is only made
available to those who purchase and register JAWS.

     When you call us for customer support, please have
your JAWS serial number available and be ready to take
notes.  To display your JAWS serial number from within
Windows, choose "About" from the Help menu of the
JAWS application window.  Use of the JAWS application
window is described in the JAWS manual and on our
training tapes.  Additionally, the serial number is usually
displayed in print and in Braille on the cover of your
manual and on one of your JAWS diskettes.

     Our bulletin board service (BBS), internet home
page, ftp site, and CompuServe forum are additional
sources of Henter-Joyce customer support.  You can use
your computer and a modem to download software
programs, technical bulletins, and JAWS program updates
from these sources.  Our BBS can be used 24 hours a day,
seven days a week.  For information about using our BBS,
download the BBS file "CALGUIDE.ZIP".  Phone numbers
and addresses for these services are listed on the front
cover of this guide.

7.   PROGRAM CHANGES

     We continue to develop JAWS for Windows, and as
a result, there may be new information which does not
appear in our printed documentation.  The
"README.TXT" file, located on your "JAWS FOR
WINDOWS" program diskette and in the \JFW
subdirectory on your hard disk, may contain the most
important of these changes.  The "Changes" menu item of
the JAWS Help menu describes program advancements in
an organized manner so that you can learn about all
program improvements in one location.


Appendix 1:  COPYING JAWS PROGRAM DISKETTES

     You cannot use the DOS DISKCOPY command to
make backup copies of your original "JAWS FOR
WINDOWS" program disk.  Copies made with DISKCOPY
will be corrupted because of the presence of the JAWS
authorization keys.  You can use the DOS XCOPY program
to make a backup copy, however the authorization keys
will not be copied.  A sample of the XCOPY command is
shown below.

     XCOPY A: A: /S

     This assumes you are using your "A" drive.  If you
are using a different diskette drive, then substitute the
appropriate disk drive letter.  The XCOPY program will
prompt you to put in the source disk and the destination
disk at the appropriate time.  It is best to use a newly
formatted empty diskette when making these copies.


Appendix 2:  ABOUT AUTHORIZATION KEYS

     This section describes the process for moving
authorization keys and for replacing lost authorization
keys.  JAWS program files can be copied from one PC to
another, but if an authorization key is not present on the
computer's hard disk drive or on a diskette in its disk
drive, then JAWS cannot run. 
     Purchasers of a single copy of JAWS software receive
three authorization keys.  Purchasers of an evaluation
package receive 1 authorization key.

     If you back up your hard drive onto diskettes or onto
tape, you will not be able to backup the authorization key. 
Therefore, you must use a separate procedure to move the
authorization key back to your original JAWS program
diskette before you perform disk maintenance activities
such as reformatting.  If you erase an authorization key,
then JAWS will no longer function.  The use of
unfragmenting utility programs will not damage
authorization keys.

How Do You Move or Uninstall an Authorization Key?
 
     To remove an authorization key from your hard disk,
begin by placing your original JFW disk number 5 in your
diskette drive and then use one of the following two
commands.

     From a DOS prompt, type the following command
     and press {ENTER}.

          C:\JFW\EVMOVE C: A:
 
     From within Windows, use the File menu of
     Program Manager to activate the Run dialog, type
     the command appropriate for your computer, and
     then press {ENTER}.

          A:\WINMOVE C: A: or B:\WINMOVE C: B:

     The parameters which follow the command
"EVMOVE" or "WINMOVE" are the same for both the
DOS and Windows commands.  The first parameter is the
source disk drive from which the authorization key is to be
moved, and the second parameter is the destination disk
drive where the authorization key is to be copied.  To move
an authorization key from your diskette to the hard disk,
simply reverse the drive letters that were shown above.  If
your JFW diskette is not in your "A:" drive and your JFW
program files were not set up on your "C:" drive, then
make the appropriate substitutions in the preceding
commands.
 
     In some situations, you might encounter an error
message, because you do not have any more authorization
keys to copy or there already was an authorization key on
the hard drive.
 
How Can I Determine the Number of Authorization Keys That
Are on My JAWS
Program Diskette?

     Begin by placing your original JFW diskette number
5 in your diskette drive.  Open a DOS application window
and display a DOS prompt by choosing the DOS Prompt
icon in the Main group of Program manager, or return to
DOS by closing Windows.  Log onto the disk drive that
contains the diskette number 5 by typing A: or B:.  Next
type CHECK and press {ENTER}.  The program displays
a variety of information including your JAWS serial
number and information about authorization keys.  If you
want to check the status of the authorization key on your
hard disk, follow the same procedure, except log onto the
disk drive that contains the JFW subdirectory, e.g., c:.

HOW CAN I OBTAIN A NEW AUTHORIZATION KEY?
 
     There, of course, will be unusual situations where an
authorization key is erased or lost, and a replacement is
needed.  Contact Henter-Joyce technical support for
assistance in the event this happens.


Appendix 3:  TROUBLESHOOTING

     If you set up Microsoft Windows and the Windows
software does not load when you reboot your PC, or when
you type WIN at a DOS prompt, then please consult your
Microsoft Windows setup manual or contact Microsoft
technical support for assistance.

     If Windows loads as it should but JAWS does not
speak, then please follow these suggestions before calling
us for assistance.

     If you have a new speech synthesizer, then you
should recheck the tightness of synthesizer connections
including external speaker or headphone connections, and
be sure the volume level is set to a mid-range loudness
setting.  If your synthesizer installation instructions
require the installation of a synthesizer driver, then be
sure it has been installed properly.  If you installed an
external synthesizer, then be sure you connected it to the
port that you indicated during setup and that its power
supply is connected and the synthesizer is turned on.

     If your synthesizer had been working with a DOS
screen reader and does not work with JAWS for Windows,
then begin your troubleshooting by looking at your
Windows Task List.  When you press
{CONTROL+ESCAPE} to activate the Task List, you
should find JAWS in the list of running applications.  If
JAWS is not in the list, then it has not been loaded.
Follow the steps presented earlier in this booklet for
"Starting JAWS."

     If you load JAWS and its name appears in the Task
List, and it does not speak, then you probably need to run
the JAWS setup program again.  If you did not choose the
correct synthesizer or port when doing the first
installation, then JAWS will be unable to communicate
with your synthesizer.  Simply run the setup program
again and be sure you are choosing the correct synthesizer. 
Please note:  If you chose not to install a synthesizer, then
JAWS cannot speak until you provide the proper "DLL"
and "INI" files. Information about installing these files is
contained in the file "SYNTH01.TXT" which is located in
the subdirectory for your language in \JFW\TECNOTES.

     We provide documentation on some speech
synthesizers, though the documentation that came with
your synthesizer should be your primary source of
information.  You may find some documentation for your
synthesizer on the "Synthesizer Drivers" disk.  Read the
"READ.ME" file on the disk for information about where
to find the files you need.  Documentation files specifically
prepared by Henter-Joyce for some synthesizers is
contained in the appropriate user language subdirectory of
\JFW\TECNOTES.
