Walter,
     No, the version Carla is using is more recent than the one I have
here, and although I do have the newer version on a floppy somewhere, it
isn't clear to me whether or not it is allowed to be distributed as of
yet, as is the version I have.
     Actually, the speech friendly version I do make available is no big
deal, and I don't use it myself.  One of the things I notice is people
grab it without getting the regular version, and since the configuration
program isn't included in the speech friendly package, you can't really
set it up right without having the regular version too.  Yeah, I know
this isn't too efficient, having to download both versions to get the
speech friendly version to work, but I don't like touching the contents
of an archive, and so can't just add the configuration program to the
speech version in good conscience.
     Since the only thing the speech program does differently than the
none speech friendly version is put the menus in a consistant spot on
the screen, it probably isn't worth it to most of us.  I will, however,
check more into the newer speech friendly version Carla is running and
see if it can be distributed.
                                                        Willie
