Re: [orca-list] Alternative for launching Orca Preferences?

[Janina Sajka <janina rednote net>]

Hi, Joanie:

Just reporting back re 'orca -s' ...

It does the job. Thanks again!

I built an rpm for Fedora 20 using the orca.spec file from Fedora 21's
build of orca-3.14.0, but with a git pull from last Friday as the
source. So, I arbitrarily versioned to 3.14.05. The rpmbuild went
without a hitch and everything seems as expected.

In particular, 'orca -s' is launching Orca Preferences, which was the
point.

Now, to get VMware out of the way of Linux keystrokes! That's a little
trickier, imo! <grin>

PS: If anyone wants this build, http, ftp, or rsync to:

SpeakupModified.org/orca
