Beginning with the transport, the next on the market was the TransBook which, in addition to being a speech synthesizer, allowed one to load programs and other material into this compact device and read from it independent of the computer. Then came the Transtype which added a qwerty keyboard and the ability to input data, and use some standardized programs such as a calculator, calendar, phone book, etc. Coming soon is the miniport which will be about half the size of the transport and include additional features. We will let you know more about each of these synthesizers in future issues. Users of MegaDots should note that version 1.5 was released in late spring.
Many new features are present including the ability to do HTML files.
The latest version is 1.5A and, should you get this version, you will need to call Raised Dot Computing for a release number within sixteen days of loading it on your system. To celebrate this fact we are offering a 6 per cent discount on all Arkenstone products through December, 1995. Young Opportunities carries all of the above products at below market prices and with excellent technical support. One of the most common problems is that you have retrieved the file from a program that uses hard carriage returns at the end of lines. Here is a macro to clean up the problem.
