[comp.sys.mac.wanted] Anyone seen a talking moose?

CRAYJOHN@cc.utah.edu (08/26/90)

A couple of years ago I say a desk top accessory called "Talking
Moose" which periodically featured a moose character making rude
comments on the screen.  My question is, does anyone know where
I can get a copy of this?  Thanks	CRAYJOHN - Chris R. Johnson

There is something called "Zippy (The Talking Pinhead)" that runs under
multifinder that I believe is based (perhaps loosely) on the moose DA.
I'm not sure if it public-domain or shareware, but is is available in the
Mac application directory of simtel20.army.mil.  If you don't have FTP
ability, and you really want it, I can send it to you  (I'm sure I have it
somewhere).

Talking Moose is, now version 3.0, distributed by Baseline Publishing, Inc.
Here's the address:
  Baseline Publishing, Inc.
  5100 Poplar, Suite 527
  Memphis, TN, USA 38137
  Voice (901) 682-9676

  GEnie: Baseline
  Compu$erve: 76340,2346
  AppleLink: Baseline
It will also speak Window title, menu selection, speak text in the clipboard,
and a couple silly things.  If you have AppleLink, check at the Promotion's
area, that's where I got mine when that have a Moose with a Mug.  Don't know
if the promotion is over or not.

Compatability?  I have a IIcx with 105 MB Quantum and 8 MB of RAM running
Virtual 2.03 for a total of 14 MB.  Two and one-third rows of Startup-icon,
don't know how many not shown (INIT cdev 3.0 takes awhile to load!).  The
only problem I found so far is GateKeeper which keep kick in when the Moose
try to speak menu or window.  Grant right to Moose does not work (seems like
request came from the program itself... I don't know!)  When I disabled
GateKeeper it is fine.  I still have SAM and Disinfectant.

Pretty cool!

Oh, I also have 264 RasterOps board.  The Moose is fine in any mode.
