I just recently got a copy of the Talking Moose DA.  After I had 
installed it into the System's Apple menu and also placed the files
MacinTalk and Moose Phrases into the System Folder, I tried to
activate the DA from the Apple menu.  It painted the control box
and the moose's head.  Then the Mac crashed, displaying a flashing
dialog window with an ID crash code=2.

I have seen this type of behaviour on older s/w programs that were
invented prior to the new 128k ROMs.  The problem was usually 
exhibited on games that used an older memory map that can't be
used under the new ROMS (screen location conflicts with new mapping).

Anyone got any clues?  Is there a new version of Talking Moose
that does work on the new ROMs?  Is there a patched version of this
DA?  

I assume this to be the problem since I have tried it on both my 
Mac (an old 128 Mac upgraded to 2M Ram, new ROMs, and 800k DD) and 
an SE at work.  Both had the same results.  I was not able to get
far enough into the DA activation to see the version number of the
Talking Moose.

Thanks for your suggestions...
