[DECtalk] DECtalk Archive: Final Update

[Karen Lewellen]

That is terrific.  I had no idea about the os/2 drivers.
The freedos project.
www.freedos.org
Is a currently maintained edition of DOS intended for so called modern 
systems.
Before one touches on the existing computers, especially outside of the 
western world, where DOS can play a role.
For others on the list, in theory do the drivers written for specific 
screen  reader tools count on their own?
I have quite a few tools, so do not want to duplicate.

best,
Karen
