The developers of Double Agent have released their first beta of the software. Double Agent is an Open Source alternative to Microsoft™ Agent that allows Agent applications to work on Windows 7. It's available for both 32-bit and 64-bit Windows. It also brings SAPI 5 compatibility to Windows XP.
You can download it from http://doubleagent.sourceforge.net/
Please help beta test it, as this will take place of MSAgent in future updates to Hal. You can post results here and I can share them with the developer, or you can contact the developer directly with the contact information on the page above.
Double Agent can emulate MSAgent or work in its own native mode. To get it to work with the current version of Hal you have to enable its emulation mode in the control panel applet it installs. Future versions of Hal will work with the native version where a few extra features will be added such as giving the user the option of whether they want the character bound to Hal's window like Haptek characters or free floating like normal MSAgent characters.

it keeps crashing with a runtime error, says I need to make sure I have MS agent installed. It says I do have Microsoft agent installed in the control panel. It seems to be working, in and out of the window. If I get another error I'll post it.

When I click ok, it closes Hal.

This is great news, thanks Robert. I'm not ready to test it but I will be soon!
