ViaVoice (98) in Wine

[wino at piments.com]

I got NS v4 to work pretty much as effectively as it does under win98.  
That's to say pretty good but not great.

I put the project on hold because I had more important things demanding my  
time but I intend to come back to this because NS 5/6/7 is really  
effective and I want this on Linux.

It will not magically work integrated with other software as it does on  
windows but the principal function of being able to dictate into it  
"dragonpad" text editor is the main hurdle and it works.

Correct me if I'm wrong but it seems each wine program is a completely  
separate thread so I dont see a likelyhood of off-the-shelf interprocess  
communtication like under windows.

However, it should be possible to grab the output going to dragonpad and  
pipe it to input of another linux prog. I did dabble with it enought to  
convince myself it was possible but no more.

Hopefully that covers Rene's qu as well

Regards.
