[DECtalk] SAPI DECtalk news

[ebruckert Bruckert]

For few years after Dennis his death in 1990, the Dctalk group was an

of digital became nonprofit later, we realized we had to make a profit to
survive. Ultimately Digital Equipment Corporation began to fall apart and we
were sold along with the rights to the software. There was a progression of
companies including Smart modular technology and Frce Cmputers.
