Hi Terry,

     For the DecTalk Express download one of the files that begin with
dectlk.  If you're doing an install from CDROM or HDD, download
dectlkb.bin, if you're doing a network install, download
dectlkn.bin.  If you need to install from a Pc-CARD (PCMCIA) device,
then download dectlkp.bin.  The images that begin with decext are for
the old fashioned DecTalk external.

     Any questions, call or write.



          Bill in Denver
