Hi.  Adam, your experiment is interesting, but I have a question.   Why?  I 
mean that I actually could run programs which were never accessible before 
and they came up talking with just Speakup and no DOS screen reader.  WP 
5.1+ and Quicken come to mind, but I also had good luck with the Turbo 
Pascal 7 IDE.  It would seem to me that unless you had a good reason for 
needing a screen reader running under DOS, you would be better served by 
using the built-in Speakup review functions and abandoning a DOS screen 
reader.  Besides, your DOS sessions have more free memory.
