One more thought on SDK's - has there been any mention on, *if* it was
released, if it'd be a free product, or a paid system? I remember
Blazie's developer toolkit was for pay, and was in fact quite
expensive, which prohibited me from ever experimenting with true C
coding for the Braille 'n Speak. I actually would like to release apps
I write as free programs, but of course if the SDK ends up being for
pay I will end up having to charge for my apps.

I do have a few specific ideas for apps. Some of my ideas might be
also in the minds of others, but I'm open to competition :) I'm
considering some more "real" games (not that Inform is bad, but I'm
thinking things like card games and such), as well as some Internet
connectivity apps - an IRC chat program would really make me drool. I
have actually coded an IRC client for blind people - technically two,
since I wrote one, then abandoned it for a second project - so I
understand the IRC protocol inside and out. Along with this I'm
thinking some simple apps like a unit converter and maybe a basic
check register with embossing capabilities. I actually did an
experiment or two writing some very basic apps in Inform and compiling
them to Z-code - and it works for simple stuff like calculations and
so on - but it obviously won't come anywhere near supporting complex
apps like an IRC client or a checkbook. A card game might be possible
in Inform - it's one of my current test projects. (Although I have to
first figure out what happened to my presently dead BN.)
