Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" List-Id: I looked at Brian Seldon's ultrasonix page http://www.henge.com/~brian/ And followed the links to what seems to be the current FTP site. The most recent README I could find was dated Aug 1998 ftp://exp.trace.wisc.edu/usonix/outgoing/README It starts off by saying quote This is a public snapshot of Ultrasonix. Large chunks don't work, but large chunks do. After building the snapshot, you will be able to get spoken feedback from most X clients which: 1) were built with either Athena or Motif widgets 2) were dynamically linked unquote Does someone know of more recent work?
