Allow me to sort of hijack this thread. I need to convert program that bridges
naturally speaking to Python. It set up to use a lot of Windows 32 calls making
naturally speaking do the right thing. Is it possible to make this code
(natlink) talk to naturally speaking and wine as a Windows 32 but speak to
Python in Linux so we can do all our fun command-and-control stuff.
