Hadn't thought about dividing up the tasks as you mention, but it does sound
like a good idea upon reflection. One of the problems with VMCO was always the
rapidly scrolling text window that was too small to begin with. I was going to
include a scroll bar, but on the Amiga the pull down screen is a natural.
Yeah, the speech driver is external on the Mac, but it's the same driver (s!}d
author, Joe Katz). For the record, it's _not_ a third party program..Apple
distributes MacinTalk on its developer disks and has the responsibility for
maintaining the program. Joe's working on several bugs right now, in fact,
brought to his attention after I reported to Apple difficulties I'd had using
it with VMCO. Most of those same bugs were fixed by Joe for the 1.1 release of
our Amiga software. So, in a small way, VMCO's had a part in getting the Amiga
software debugged.
