From: Edwin Hastings <hastings@lll-crg.ARPA> Does anyone have any information on the MacTalk program ? Is it going to be a product ?

From: Gustavo Fernandez <FERNANDEZ@SU-SCORE.ARPA> The last I heared about it (At MacCollege, 8/16/84) was that it WILL be a product (eventually) probably free to developers. It will consist of 3 parts: 1. A free-running executive similare to the one floating around the grapevine 2. An editor to do the text-to-speech conversion and to allow the user to modify the initial conversions done by the program 3. An unlinked object file that will be useful for linking with your own programs. Along the same lines will be the journalling package used to create guided tours. This will be sold as a standalone package, and will not be a repacement for exec files, as the cursor is tracked on the screen (just like the guided tour disk which you received with your mac, but hopefully, not as buggy.) -------
