Subject: [Talks] HalWin applcation.
Will
It is a program that is much better then AutoSIS. Being it lets you build
a E:\SYSTEM from almost
any series 60 *.SIS file on your harddrive. then you just copy the SYSTEM
folder to your MMC card
and pop the thing back into your phone and your in business.
The AutoSIS program is the other screen readers version that only works
with their own program and
no ones elses. So you couldn't use AutoSIS to install Talks or any other
series 60 software.
But HalWin will work with almost all series 60 *.SIS files including the
other screenreader makers
files.
Hope that answers your question.
