or the result of performing a function can be discerned
textually.
|
Check Point VPN-1/FireWall-1
|
All Check Point VPN-1/FireWall-1

The only case where the result of performing a function
cannot be discerned textually is when entering a password,
where asterisks are displayed rather than the entered
text.
|
|
|
|
(b) Applications shall not disrupt
or disable activated features of other products that
are identified as accessibility features, where those
features are developed and documented according to industry
standards. Applications also shall not disrupt or disable
activated features of any operating system that are
identified as accessibility features where the application
programming interface for those accessibility features
has been documented by the manufacturer of the operating
system and is available to the product developer.
