THe old PD Talking Moose didn't even work with some of the earlier 5.x
versions.  However, Steve Halls has released it as a fully-supported product
-- it isn't PD anymore (I know, it's running on my machine); it's now a
CDEV.  My moose is back!

For a limited time, people can obtain the latest version of the Moose for
$20 by mailing a check to:

                         Steve Halls
                         #303,  3837 Luther Place,
                         Saskatoon,   Saskatchewan,
                          S7H 4B1,  Canada.
