Ultrasonix [was Re: What screen reader?

[Leonard R. Kasday]

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?
