Hi Patrick, in answer to your three questions: 1) It is a system extension that enables programs that you run to produce synthesized human speech. Only programs that know how to use Macintalk will benefit. Microsoft Word (as far as I know) won't benefit from your having Macintalk in your system folder. 2) You might find it available for download on a local BBS. You could buy 'The Talking Moose' from one of the mail order outfits. The Talking Moose ships with Macintalk. It's a DA that pops up on your screen and says something using the Macintalk synthesized speech. 3) Don't know if it works with system 7, but I would imagine that if it's shipping commercially with 'The Talking Moose' that it does. No publisher in his right mind would distribute software these days that isn't system 7 compatible. (from harrym@netcom.com)
