An early version of the e-speak prototype has been running on
MPE/iX 6.0 since last year.  However, we have not pursued the e-speak
technology any further due to the lack of demands from our
customers.  Please let us know if you are interested in integrating
your MPE applications and providing e-services using e-speak.
