Hi Jude -- that sounds like a very interesting approach. There were lots of suggestions to his query on other lists we happen to be on, but you are the first to suggest using a commodore! Cheers! And good luck Marvin!

Consider though only one version/language instance exists in the windows world where some sspeech is available for installation help; windows2000/english edition. All other versions of windows you're s.o.l. Why restrict it to windows though? More than one version of software Apple released for the mac has the same problem. Same deal for boxes like the Commodore64. Don't laugh when I include the Commodore64, it's got the largest existing softwaare base written for any computer or at least did a few years ago. If a person could use a pc with a disk emulator for the other computer that could make the right format then copy dos files onto the other disk and handle things like file formats, you might be able to use a pc to make a commodore64 install set. _______________________________________________ Speakup mailing list Speakup at braille.uwo.ca http://speech.braille.uwo.ca/mailman/listinfo/speakup
