- One difference is that with clipper it's possible to
- compile for speech friendly programming.
- This is the kind of programming you do when someone who might be
- using a speech synthesizer is going to use the end product.
- As far as I've been able to figure out,
- fox plus can't do this. Therefore, it's not in compliance with the
- a.d.a. since if there's a totally blind computer user who has to use your
- program effectively to keep their job depending on the version of speech
- synthesizer in use this may not be possible.
- If you want to compile for clipper so programs come up talking on
- speech synthesizers, remember in the linking to link pcbios.obj
- in along with everything else and the software will talk with no
- problems.
