#{v_mac.5} I recently posted a question on Talking Moose II to the net, and received several requests for information on obtaining a copy. Rather than replying individually, I am posting this, as it should be of general interest. The main features of the new Moose v2.3 are : the program now runs as an INIT/CDEV combination he speaks : pull-down menu selections window titles dialogue and alert messages after pauses the alarm clock time on startup + shutdown + change disk there are extensive customisation features, both as to the 'presentation' of the Moose, and when and where and what he speaks; both at the desktop level, and within individual applications; all explained in detail in over 100k of accompanying documentation a suite of Moose utilities, available either from the Control Panel or as a separate application Moose Proof sentence tester and proofreader DAs, and a Phonemes DA (including ResEdit TMPLs for editing the new Moose resources) MultiFinder and colour Mac II compatible The disk also includes: 15k of Moose phrases Talking Finder installation script MacinTalk driver and Macintosh system file Please note that Moose 2 is no longer public domain software.You can obtain the latest version of the Moose for $20 from the programmer: Steve Halls #303, 3837 Luther Place, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, S7H 4B1, Canada. phone (306) 374-6052 (Living in the UK, I sent $25, allowing for overseas postage.) The basic application can be installed and customised in half an hour or less (not counting the time to read the documentation first - always a good idea), but you could easily spend weeks playing about with all the application and Finder customisation features. So *be* *warned* (if you want to get any work done), and have fun! -- Another Fine Product from <mcvax!ukc!icdoc!bilpin!jim> <jim@bilpin.uucp> {JimG : Hatfield, England} This line has been intentionally left blank
