<p class="MsoNormal">Hi all:</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have been in communication with Rob
Meredith at APH, who did most of the work on TexTalker GS and
he has no problem with releasing it to the group.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">His words were:</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>Yes, please release Textalker-GS 1.4
to the Blind Apple Group. Of course, the lack of talk.init
is not good for some.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>The “TALK.INIT” file is used by GSOS
to launch TexTalker gs from within the system/system.setup
folder. However, he did give me binaries of “TALK” which he
said should be type “SYS” under ProDOS. This, in turn,
loads up “TALK.0” the other component of TexTalker gs, and
should be in the same folder as the “TALK” file.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>Here is a link to a Shrinkit archive
with the files we have, so far.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>He thinks it might be possible to
recompile “TALK.INIT”, but, is not sure.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>There are several things TTGS is
still not doing, and, I don’t know if those are emulation
issues, or something else.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>Anyway, here is a link to the
Shrinkit archive containing these 2 files:</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span>See the included README for some very
sparse information.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span>You can use Ciderpress to extract the
files, look at them or inser them into a disk image.</span></p>
