Ultra Hal Assistant is your digital 
secretary and companion. With Hal you 
can hold conversations with your 
computer. Hal has many animated 
characters to choose from and he 
speaks to you out loud through your 
sound card with his own voice! Hal can
chat with you, remember appointments, 
remember phone numbers, dial phone 
numbers for you, remember email 
addresses, start emails for you, start 
programs for you, help you use your 
computer, help you browse the 
Internet, and more. 

This program is shareware. It is fully 
functional, has no time limit, and has 
no annoying registration reminders.  
However a more advanced version of this 
program is available for $34.95. The 
main advantages of the advanced version 
include built-in speech recognition,
meaning you can speak to Hal instead of 
type.  Also the advanced version has 
more animated faces, and more voices to
choose from.

This program requires a pentium class 
computer with at least 24MB RAM and 30 
MB hard drive space. A sound card is 
highly reccomended. 

To install this program simply execute
the setup.exe file included in this 
archive.  Uninstall support is provided.
Make sure to close *ALL* programs before
installing Ultra Hal Assistant. If a
previous version of Ultra Hal Assistant
is installed, it must be removed before
installing this new version.
