Macromedia to meet disability standards

San Francisco-based Macromedia and the National Center for Accessible Media (NCAM) at WGBH in Boston said they would collaborate on helping Macromedia's Dreamweaver Web authoring tool meet disability standards. Under the terms of their agreement, NCAM will evaluate Macromedia's software and suggest ways to make it comply with accessibility guidelines issued by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) and with a federal law known as Section 508, which requires federal government Web sites to be accessible to people with disabilities.
