One of the tech notes just posted to comp.binaries.mac explains macintalk--- Macintalk was subcontracted as demo software for the 1984 rollout of the Mac 128k, so the mac could introduce itself to the audience. In other words, apple doesn't have the source, never intended to support it, but nevertheless it SURVIVED. It is guaranteed to die in system 7.0. Also, it is guaranteed to kill your mac whenever two programs compete for the sound manager. I think it's very sad that Apple has not ceased on the opportunity to add a voice capability to the macintosh. This reminds me of Xerox, where the best software was always written during spare time as a "fun hack". The marketing 'droids never had the creativity to understand why or how someone could use such a "fun hack". Look what happened to Xerox.
