- I recently had a chance to look at a 4000 (and its manuals). There is no

- 2.0 doesn't work.

- The question: What happened? is this a temporary abberation, or a
- permanent mistake.
- If the latter: what happened to the concern for compatibility. I *USE*
- several programs that use speech - will I lose these if I get a new
- machine?
-
- What I have heard is that translator.library and narrator.device are/were
- licenced technology, and Commodore decided to drop it, as there seemed not to
- be much use for it.
- As for the programs that use it, you can copy narrator and translator from
- older system disks to 3.0 systems. I'm 99% sure they work, and assuming you
- keep your older system as a games machine or something, you aren't even
- pirating any software, since you have a legal copy of it. Probably two or three
- copies, in fact, if you have been using Amigas for a longer time...
