Hi Eric,
Sounds good except for the fact that adaptive software ISN'T SHARE OR
FREE WARE. The folks who make the stuff want to get MONEY from such a
small market. It isn't a matter of "Why are they doing this to us because
we're disabled?" It is a purely an economic matter. Sorry to burst your
bubble. Maybe someone knows more than I do about this. If so, I hope that
they reply to you favorably.
Take care, see you on-line.
Ann P.

WS> Eric, echo off shuts up speech during batch files. What else
WS> does your utility do?
Walter,
Let me give you an example of how I use Eric's program.
ECHO OFF doesn't shut up speech produced by the applications the
batch file calls, it only silences the commands themselves. One of the
batch files I run daily calls up several programs that do things like
summarize my board's log, update the download and upload record lists I
keep, etc. Some of these applications I want to hear the output from as
it occurs, and others I just want to do their thing and I can read the
files they are updating at my convenience.
Well, by using SPCTL in the batch file, I can completely shut off
speech when an application I don't want to hear is occuring, and toggle
it back on to hear those things I do want to hear. Thus by simply
typing in the word "logread" I can perform about 7 different operations,
listening to only what I want to, and play on the floor with Strider
while it is all happening!
