More about DOS systems

Hi,

Yes, but does it support speech and Braille?  I understood that speech 
support was preliminary and it didn't have all of the features you would 
expect from a screen reader using speech.  I understood that it is 
primarily for Braille.  There is nothing wrong with that as most DOS 
screen readers are for speech output and have little or no Braille 
support.  I should have clarified that I meant speech screen readers for 
DOS.  I assumed that was obvious because this is the Speakup list.  If 
it in fact has both speech and Braille support, I'll certainly look.  
Does it support software speech?  What about the DEC-talk express?  The 
original comment was about adding software speech synth support to an 
open source screen reader.
