For the unitiated, the Talking Moose was a simple applet on old Mac computers that periodically displayed an animated Bullwinkle-lookalike moose in the corner of the screen, spouting witty phrases or biting insults, as well as commenting on various activities like opening and closing programs or inserting disks. (The moose's behavior was highly customizable.) He's not for everybody, but I miss the guy. > > Lo and behold, the project was resurrected for the modern Windows era: > > http://www.halls.md/moose/index.htm > > (There's also a Mac version at http://www.zathras.de/angelweb/moose.htm.) > > It's a tiny, simple desktop Windows applet that seems to confine itself entirely to a nice and neat single directory (that is, there's no messy installation), but, much to my dismay, I cannot seem to get it to run in Wine, nor can I diagnose the problem. Can anyone else get it to work, or, if not, offer up some helpful suggestions? Appears to need vbruntimes (winetricks vbrun60). After that, installs fine, and runs, but doesn't play. According to the website, it needs voices, perhaps you can find some online/from windows and put them in the right place. For future reference, most people won't respond unless you try it yourself and give the problem, with terminal output/symptoms... -- -Austin
