The voices of Ultima 7 are few and far between (Intro video, the occasional
"Yes, THAT is the proper direction to travel in Avatar" and "Yes my
friend... Rest so that you are strong enough to face the perils of the

Oh, and the crystal balls that say "Go Away!"

For the record, there is also a version of VDMSound for Windows 9x. It's NOT
just NT/2K/XP.
