For ALL the information on MacinTalk, refer to Macintosh Technical
Note 268, dated February 1990 (yes, last year), and titled 
"MacinTalk - The Final Chapter".

Not a prayer. I started including bits of this Tech Note, but you
really should read the lot. Using MacinTalk without full knowledge of
all the things that go wrong and what it interferes with is
"dangerous".

Hasn't anyone ever released a commercial, supported replacement?
