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.

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.
