Re: [orca-list] Orca and snap

[Will Estes <westes575 gmail com>]

A snap package is just that. A package.

If the package is built so that any accessibility options are on, then the program will be accessible when 
run. If the accessibility configuration/options/etc are turned off, then the program will be not-accessible.

It has nothing to do with the snap package format.
