    I recently posted a question on Talking Moose II to the net, and
    received several requests for information on obtaining a copy. Rather
    than replying individually, I am posting this, as it should be of
    general interest.
  
    The main features of the new Moose v2.3 are : 
	the program now runs as an INIT/CDEV combination 
	he speaks : pull-down menu selections 
		    window titles 
		    dialogue and alert messages 
		    after pauses
    		    the alarm clock time on startup + shutdown + change disk 
	there are extensive customisation features, both as to the 
	'presentation' of the Moose, and when and where and what he speaks; 
	both at the desktop level, and within individual applications; all
    	explained in detail in over 100k of accompanying documentation 
	a suite of Moose utilities, available either from the Control Panel or
    	as a separate application 
	Moose Proof sentence tester and proofreader DAs, and a Phonemes DA 
	    (including ResEdit TMPLs for editing the new Moose resources) 
	MultiFinder and colour Mac II compatible
	
    The disk also includes: 
	15k of Moose phrases 
	Talking Finder installation script
	MacinTalk driver and Macintosh system file
	
    Please note that Moose 2 is no longer public domain software.You can 
    obtain the latest version of the Moose for $20 from the programmer:
  
    	Steve Halls
    	#303, 3837 Luther Place, Saskatoon,
	Saskatchewan, S7H 4B1, 
	Canada.
    	    phone (306) 374-6052
	    
    (Living in the UK, I sent $25, allowing for overseas postage.)
    
    The basic application can be installed and customised in half an hour or
    less (not counting the time to read the documentation first - always a
    good idea), but you could easily spend weeks playing about with all the
    application and Finder customisation features. So *be* *warned* (if you
    want to get any work done), and have fun!
