[RWP] Installing reaccess part 2

Mon Nov 21 05:59:31 EST 2011

Thanks Kerry.  So far I've only found one distribution of Reaccess which I
presume is the 32 bit but as it doesn't work with Window-eyes I guess it's
somewhat academic.  

Funnily enough I was able to find the I o in older versions of Reaper but
didn't have the same luck in the new 64 bit version for some reason.  I'll
stick with the older version for the time being as I can at least get it to
do what I need, and hope GW sorts out Window-eyes with the new version, or
with any version come to that.  I will write to GW and ask them to get that
sorted - as if that will do any good but one can try.

Here is basically how it works:
If you have 64-bit Windows, you need 64-bit reaper. If you install 32-bit
reaper and 32-bit reaccess you need to take both off and install the 64-bit
reaper and the 64-bit reaccess.

I believe 64-bit reaccess comes with the standard distribution.

If you have enough vision to stare at the screen and make stuff go, then
well and good. Reaccess with anything but windoweyes does make an excellent
improvement.
do listen to the Cavicast demo of reaper Ipointed you at if you want some
idea of what Reaper and Reaccess can do for you.

regards, Kerry.
