color=#0000ff><FONT size=2>I am working with a developer of antivirus software,
who is interested in increasing the accessibility of their UI. I am
a screen reader user myself, not a programmer. I can tell them about the
pitfalls of using nonstandard windows controls, advise them to <SPAN
class=312594615-26082008>adhere to standard windows keyboard commands, etc. I'm
wondering however, whether there are any written guidelines which I could
suggest that they study? There are any number of similar standards out
there for web developers, so I would think that something similar should exist
for developers of software
applications.</SPAN></FONT></FONT></FONT></SPAN></DIV>
