Enabling Assistive Technologies

For assistive technologies based on Windows to interoperate with SAS desktop applications that are based on Java, you must download the Java Access Bridge (JAB) from Oracle Corporation. See the SAS Web site at http://www.sas.com/industry/government/java.html for more information.
