While I was on GENIE I noticed that Macintalk 2.0 was available with
the standard Apple Licensing for download. This version is compatible
with system 6.0.7 and 7.0.
1. Is Apple still supporting the product.
2. Is this an official release.
It was my impression that no further development would be done to
Macintalk, why the change?
- Peter
P.S. Please do not send me any requests to get you Macintalk 2.0. I
will not send it to anyone due to the Apple License on the GENIE
download.

I've got MacinTalk 2.0 but I haven't gotten around to trying it out yet. I suppose they haven't added anything significant besides 6.07 compatibility... I was hoping they would add the female voice like it was "promised". Have they added anything? % t-o-m s-h-o-r-e-s "It's fallen and I can't get it up" --That old lady's husband

Does anybody know if Macintalk 2.0 is on AOL? I didn't see last time
I checked.

The obvious question, which I've seen asked but nowhere answered, is: "will there be some sort of replacement, commercial or not?" So I'll ask it again, as well as: "will there be a programming library if the answer to the other question is "yes"? -- Paul DuBois dubois@primate.wisc.edu

I'm running System 7.0b1 and MacinTalk 2.0 works somewhat, at least with the LipService cdev. It doesn't work with TalkingMoose 2.0 (shareware version), but I think that's a problem with TalkingMoose. I haven't tried TM version 3.0 (the commercial version) yet. Stay tuned... Apple also said that MacinTalk would never be supported again (Tech Note 268), but now there's version 2.0, so whom are we to believe? ------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Henry M.

Keep in mind though that System 7.0b1 does NOT have any new sound manager. It uses the same sound manager as 6.0.5...

I seem to remember that Apple announced plans at the last developer's conference to release a new, vastly improved, and supported (!) version of Macintalk. I also think they said that it would take about a year to develop, but at this point my memory is kind-of fuzzy. (I'm still recovering from New Year's Eve.) Tom Amberg Apple Student Rep Michigan Tech

System 6.0.7 should be the more >applicable test... In an SE/30 running 6.0.7 the commercial version of the Moose works just fine under single and multifinder. I have not tested any other MacinTalk uses (I have a couple of shareware XCMDs that use it) but the Moose is as verbose as ever. Does this mean that the "real" Sound Manager hasn't arrived? Or did the Apple programmers do a much better job than they planned on?
