[DECtalk] archive question

[Jayson Smith]

Hi,

I didn't know about the NVDA addin, but that's good to know. As far as I 
know, if you're using anything other than NVDA, you need an older 
version of BT Sync, because the newer ones aren't nearly as accessible. 
If anyone's interested, I have such an older version.
