I'm confused.
A few months ago, when downloading the AIS Toolbar for IE, I was
certain that the download link on the visionaustralia.org site
referred me to the Web Accessibility Toolbar (WAT) for IE on the
paciellogroup.com site.
This referral seemed to last a while, it wasn't just for one day... I
think.
Now, the AIS Toolbar is downloading from the visionaustralia.org site.
The WAT is downloading from paciellogroup.com.
Did anyone else notice this?.. or is Mister Mxyzptlk nearby again? :-)

The AIS toolbar and the WAT toolbar are pretty much the same thing,
but with different branding. The difference you're seeing might be
that the current version (1.2) is available at visionaustralia.org
while the new version 2.0 beta is available at paciellogroup.com. It's
possible that they used to link to the same source, but now that the
beta is available, they are providing separate links - one to version
1.2 and one to version 2.0 beta.
Or maybe I'm confused also.

Hi Joseph,
I am the one of the developers of the WAT
unsure about the changing URLs
anyway the latest version 2.0 is available from the tpg site, the previous
version 1.2 is avilable from vision australua, but soon vision will be
providing the 2.0 version as well.
The reason for the change of URLs is that I used to work for vision
australia (and the 1.2 version was released while i was still working there)
and now work for the paciello group.
The 2.0 version is a big improvement on the 1.2 version ( i think)
