[This is from the Blink Talk Conference]

Don, I am running Artic 2.10 at this time.  Reflections was a lot of
work and even with eye balls, we had trouble.  I used the Printer
Voice in Artic to capture what came to the screen.  However, if
anything on the screen changed or updated after the original screen
write, the speech would not work.  Now I know Artic will indeed
notifyyou of a status line that changes, however, in this case, the
data on the screen that changes is not always in the same place.

The people at SmartTerm assured me that their program worked like
CrossTalk, but was a more true VT220 emulation.  If CrossTalk did a
better job of emulating the VT220, I'd just stay with it cause it
talks fine and in most of the cases is    getting the job done for
me.

I expect the new software to arrive just after Christmas and I'll let
you know how things go.  Reflections II is a big program that does a
lot more than I need for this application.  You should see the box of
books that comes with it.  The Customer Support that I mentioned is a
big concern.  They were really helpful and willing to work with you
when you got them on the phone, but getting a shot at talking to them
was difficult.  If everyone could have the kind of technical support
offered by WordPerfect, it would be great.  I guess I'm kinda
impatient, cause when I need help, I need it now and not one or two
days later.

Chat at ya soon.
Steve
