Josh, one of my VMWare images have here is some version of dos, with windows
3.1, but, have never been able to do much with it, since couldn't manage to
get the apparent installation of window eyes to run inside windows 3.1
myself, and have never bothered to get sighted help to handle that, since
it's just always been something I never bothered deleting, partly since it's
not all that large in file size.
However, wonder if something like this tiny talk screenreader might work/run
within it - but, again, wouldn't be 100% sure how to copy it across to
virtual file system, since while I can sort out VMWare file shares with
virtual versions of windows, really don't know exactly how dos would even
try to handle that...<smile>

Subject: Re: [Audyssey] tiny talk in dos
hi thomas,
do you have speakup installed in ubuntu, or do you use archLinux? I like
speakup. it is the closest thing I can come to using true DOS.

Hi Josh,
Honestly, I'm not surprised. The only way I have ever managed to run
any old Dos applications etc the last few years is by using Dosemu
with Speakup. It isn't a perfect solution, but it does work. I have
managed to play some games and run certain apps like Wordperfect 5.1
with Speakup. However, that requires a Linux distribution like Vinux,
Ubuntu, or some other distribution with Speakup, Espeakup, and Dosemu.
Otherwise I don't think you are going to find a better solution for
running old Dos games and apps. I've already tried running copies of
Jaws for Dos etc in Dosbox before all to no success.
Cheers!
