WW>      Although it might not be as easy as it is with Vocal-Eyes,  
 WW>      I know that both Softvert and Flipper have been loaded  
 WW>  into extended memory by using that memory manager program by  
 WW>  QuarterDek.  I think it is called simply QM or something like  
 WW>  that. Is anybody out there using this program to load their  
 WW>  speech into extended memory?? 
  
Willie,
I use QEMM-386 from Quarterdeck Systems.  It does not move speech programs, and
other TSR's into "extended memory" per sae.  It moves them into memory between
640K and one meg, which is normally used by the system.  Extended memroy starts
above one megabyte I believe.  I have used QEMM to move both provox and artic
businessvision into high memroy.  It however would not move Artic's VEST program
into high memory.  In an earlier message, Eric Bohlman pointed out that it may
not be possible to move JAWS to high memory to high memory because of its size,
over 100K.  PROVOX is only 28K and Artic BV about 50K.  I did try it once with
JAWS, and the program did not successfully move JAWS.  
In addition to moving TSR programs to high memroy, QEMM also converts any
extended memory to expanded memory.  However, a program must be specifically
written to use extended or expanded memory directly itself.
