 MP> Norton Utilities

Mika,
      I regularly use an older version of NOrton utilities, and most are
definately speech compatible.  The NU program itself is a little tricky
when doing things like trying to restore a lost subdirectory or file,
but since most of the executables in the package can be run separately
with a command line switch or two, they are no problem at all.

 MP> Money Counts

I've run this with several speech programs, each requiring a little
setting up of windows and the like, but again, quite usable with speech
in general.  Maggi uses Money Counts regularly for her business, so when
she returns from her vacation, perhaps she'll say more.

 MP> Managing Your Money

That's a new one on me.

 MP> Data Perfect

I've never used it, but it seems to me somebody here talked about it a
while back in the echo.  Keep your fingers crossed and maybe they're
still around!

 MP> Thanks,

You're welcome!
                                                        Willie

I've used Norton util versions 4.5 and version5 with speech no
problem.  Some of the screens in nu itself are a bit tricky,
choices are highlighted etc, but for many of them, you can simply
type the letter of the choice you want, and it'll work like a
charm.  One application that's hard for me to use with speech is
pctools.   Has anyone had much luck with that one?  Later..
