I just recently got a copy of the Talking Moose DA. After I had installed it into the System's Apple menu and also placed the files MacinTalk and Moose Phrases into the System Folder, I tried to activate the DA from the Apple menu. It painted the control box and the moose's head. Then the Mac crashed, displaying a flashing dialog window with an ID crash code=2. I have seen this type of behaviour on older s/w programs that were invented prior to the new 128k ROMs. The problem was usually exhibited on games that used an older memory map that can't be used under the new ROMS (screen location conflicts with new mapping). Anyone got any clues? Is there a new version of Talking Moose that does work on the new ROMs? Is there a patched version of this DA? I assume this to be the problem since I have tried it on both my Mac (an old 128 Mac upgraded to 2M Ram, new ROMs, and 800k DD) and an SE at work. Both had the same results. I was not able to get far enough into the DA activation to see the version number of the Talking Moose.

Does anyone have a version of that good 'ol classic, "Talking Moose" that works on system 6.0 or greater? Mine creates a bomb (ID = 02, I think) whenever I try to start it. I have system 6.0 and Finder 6.1. Thanks Brad Koehn

The first time I tried the Moose on my Mac II after getting it last December (the Mac II, not the Moose), it tried valiantly to say something, then crashed the system. That was probably under update version 5, if not earlier. It CERTAINLY wasn't 6.0. What machine are you running on, Brad? Anyone know what exactly the problem is? If anyone DOES have a newer version, please send it to me, too! -- Mark H.

Sorry for not being very specific in my other article. I have a Mac Plus, with a PL20 Turbo Hard Drive. I know what you're thinking: but it's not the hard drive, or any of it's files, because the Moose didn't work before I had the hard disk, and I tried it on a copy of my original Sysytem Tools disk. I also know that it's not my copy of the Moose, because it works on a friend's SE (also with no hard drive). When I select it from the Apple Menu, The Moose appears on the screen, along with it's window, and before it can say a word, it hangs with Sysytem Error ID=2. The interesting thing is that when I run Multifinder, it doesn't hang, it just disables the mouse (e.g. the cursor won't move), and it doesn't re-update the screen. Hopefully this will help some more. Brad Koehn U of WI

I think Moose was interesting enough that if anyone finds a new version
somewhere that works with 6.0.x, it should be posted to comp.binaries.mac.
Does anyone still have the old docs that listed the original author? I
remember seeing them about two years ago, but haven't seen them since.
I think it said something like he would make the source available, but
didn't want to do anything further with it. Can someone check up on this?

Can someone check up on this? We recenly recieved a letter (and disk) here at the office from the author of Talking Moose. He has a new rewritten version which works through an INIT cdev mechinism (works on the II & system 6.0.x of course) and has some nice new features as well. HOWEVER, he is trying to find a purchaser for the product as he does not have the time to support the product. We will NOT be the new publishers, nor do I know who it will be. I just wanted to pass on this info to let people know the status. /* ============================================================ */ /* Leonard Rosenthol | GEnie: MACgician */ /* President, Lazerware inc. | Delphi: MACgician */ /* | MacNet: MACgician */ /* denn@violet.berkeley.edu | AppleLink: D0025 */
