[Athen] Jaws with SPSS

I did some testing with a statistics specialist here at UCLA in summer
2015, & the results were very unsatisfactory. Jaws could track tabular data
in some screens but not others. In particular, Jaws would report the type
of output table being produced, but couldn't read the table itself. The
Jaws-Java-SPSS combination crashed frequently.

Word at the time was that IBM is not producing any new versions beyond SPSS
23.
