well an interesting thing happened a bit ago.
I wanted to use keysoft 2.0 and mastertouch 2 on another system and I
asked about the licencing on these softwares.
Technically these are free.
Right, but you need to get a coppy and get passed the protection and
they don't supply that.
the keynote gold system is used in their other programs but at the
same time it may be technically free as long as you can source a coppy that is.
I never had it so never asked about it.

Hi
Humanware's a bit rediculous also especially with the issue I'm
trying to get them to agree with me on. You see I'm running a
windows98 virtual machine in vmware. I like really like the keynote
gold speech synthesizer. They had a version called keynote gold
multimedia for win98 and keysoft 2.4a for win98 as well. Well I
asked them to make it free software. I know you don't like fs but
one good thing they did out of all the bad stuff was make their jaws
for DOS free software. I wish humanware would make keynote gold
multimedia for win98 and keysoft 2.4a gold for win95/98 as free
software either that or add a keynote gold voice variant to espeak
so espeak sounds and has better pronunciation. Of course maybe I'm
just partial to the old keynote gold synthesizer. anyway humanware
told me I cannot modify keynote gold multimedia demo or keysoft for
win95. I would at least like to use keynote gold in ubuntu linux or
with NVDA. But I cannot because they are being greedy with a 20 year
old piece of software. in keysoft it says the text to speech is
copyright 1990 berkely speech systems. berkeley speech systems I
meant to write. So until they don't care about it anymore I'm stuck
to running keynote gold multimedia in 15 minute demo mode inside my
virtual machine. And no I'm not giving the demo out on this list
because they said I can't distribute it either. Their $6000
braillenotes use eloquence now so what's wrong with letting go of
keynote gold? Having a full copy of keynote gold is the only way I
can use asap in win98 dos box with software speech that is actually
responsive so I can play with the old DOS software again.
