This may sound silly, but you might consider checking the name of the
file.  When I first tried Talking Moose with a MacII-compatible
Macintalk, it wouldn't work.  I rebooted a couple of times with and
without init-cdev to see if that was the problem.  Then, I noticed that
the message I got was something like "Macintalk not installed".  I
looked, and the file I had placed in my system folder was called
"MacinTalk".

Now, while I wouldn't expect case to be the problem, changing the
name to "Macintalk" and rebooting made Talking Moose work.

I would expect that the reality of the situation is that I just
finally got the right combination of things running, but anything's
worth a shot.
