Well outspoken is made by Berkeley Systems In Berkeley, California
an I don't have their phone number handy, but you should 
be able to look it up.  It will not do any kind of graphics, and 
I found many bugs, as though it were not quite finished.  It works well with
the finder, but it may not work well with your particular application; you
should try it out as soon as you get it to make sure it will 
work for you.  If you need more info send email to me and I will answer 
any questions.  This kind of thing is a good idea, but it needs more work.
