Hi,

I downloaded your orca_tutorial.tar but my Winzip v9 cannot unzip it.

The Winzip message is:
Error reading header after processing 0 entries

I’m new to Linux and Orca and only the Vinux 2 live CD starts with the Welcome to Orca. I know just a few hot keys and Orca keeps going silent and attempts at navigation gets me stuck or frozen. Rebooting has become common.

I rely on Windows and JAWS to acquire information. I would welcome an audio or text tutorial to help get me started. What format is in your download file? 

If you want to untar tar.gz files on windows, you should use 7-zip.
Here is the link to show how to use it

What do you mean by stating?
 (using text6 editor”
Is this known only to a Linux user?

Text editor is the common word used for any type of editors. Instead of branding it as notepad or gedit, he must used as text editors.
For example, in the case of spreadsheet we should not call them as excel or calc, its like branding the things. We should use generic words like spreadsheet.

As a beginner I can provide you with feedback on your tutorials. Right now I am learning by doing things haphazardly. There must be an easier way.

Subject: [orca-list] new set of orca tutorials uploaded

hello all,
I have justed uploaded a set of audio tutorials for orca.
The tutorials contain audio lesons on basic gnome use (just the kind
needed by some one absolutely new ), using text6 editor (for some one
who has recently started to use computers ) and even the introduction to
orca as such.

Please download the tutorials from
http://kk.hipatia.net/public/orca_tutorials/ (don't forget the / at the
end ).

Do give me your feedbacks because this set of tutorials are just made as
a first attempt.
I would like to further improve them and also like to add one more on
firefox, evolution and thunderbird with orca.

Happy hacking.
Krishnakant.
