Dear Accessibility Staff:

I would like to take this opportunity to introduce you
to a new HTML Editing program that has been designed
with web accessibility as a primary goal, Able Web
Editor. The accessibility features are designed into
the operation of the program as well as in the
documentation for how to create accessible web pages.

This program is an HTML Text Editor with all program
controls accessible from the keyboard. The use of a
mouse is optional. All the program documentation is
contained in Web Pages that may be displayed in the
built-in browser or through appropriate Assistive
Technology. The documentation includes Page Samples
that describe HTML and CSS show how to comply with
Section 508 and the WCAG 1.0. They also include cross
browser compatibility references for IE 4, 5, and 6,
Mozilla, Netscape 4 and 6, and Opera browsers as well
as the W3C's HTML, CSS, and XHTML standards. 

For more information about the program, please visit
www.AbleWebEditor.com. A free demo version of this program is also
available on this web site.

Sincerely,
Don McCunn
