<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Hi Blake and
all,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">. To run SB
Talker from the command line on Windows 7, you’ll want to be
in the directory where your copy of SB Talker currently
resides (i.e. “C:\Users\Username\My Documents\SB Talker” or
C:\SBTalker). Or, you can copy SB Talker to C:\SBTalker and
put that directory in your path.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Once you’re in
the SBTalker directory, run SBTalk.bat to load the driver.
That’s SBTalk.bat, not SBTalker.exe. (If you run
SBTalker.exe, you’ll get an error message that says the
driver cannot be loaded.)<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">To test
SBTalker, type the following at the command line and press
enter:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Read Hello
world, this is a test.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">If you want to
do further playing around with the Read program, type read
and press enter. Here you can type a line you’d like read
back to you and press enter. When you’re done in the Read
program, press Control-C to get back to the command line.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">You can also
run the sbaitso2 program and chat with Dr. Sbaitso.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">When you’re
done playing with SBTalker, you can unload the SBTalker
driver by typing remove. (This doesn’t delete the driver
file, it just unloads it from resident memory.)<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Hope all this
helps. When I get time, I’ll put together a little bundle
package of SBTalker with TinyTalk.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:navy">Thanks
Jim. I have found this zip on other sites over the years but
it is definitely hard to find. Although I can't get the
programs in the zip file to run on Windows 7 i.e.
sbtalker.exe, they should run under Windows XP. I remember
getting sbtalker.exe and sbaitso2 to run on XP a few years
ago even though I was not using a Sound Blaster card. I used
the Sbaitso program which uses SBTalker primarily in my DOS
days and had a lot of fun with it.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Here is SB Talker, for DOS, from Creative
Labs. It’s circa 1991. I had to do some digging to find it,
accessing old archives of NFBNet.org via <a
