Application Design Accessability StandardsPaul,

Companies such as Microsoft, IBM, and Sun have guide lines for designing
accessibility into software and applications. Here are two urls to start
with. I don't have the Sun url book marked, but I know that they also have an
accessibility Website.

Perhaps a bit 'off-forum' !.......but has anyone seen information regarding
application accessibility standards, as opposed to web standards? (which
thanks to forums such as these are much better covered). I have lots of
issues with the failure of application developers to consider accessibility
issues, whereas web development personnel are much better informed.
