Hi,

I have a copy of Infovox 330 2.2 as well as a copy of 2.1 that
includes 1 U.S. voice taken from 2.2, because the revision history
said this voice was backward compatible to previous versions of
Infovox 330.

Thanks,

Brandon

P.s. Thank you for the information about the software. I feel much
more comfortable about this now.

Thanks,

Brandon
