speakup 1.0 and slackware 8.0

[Gregory Nowak]

You can get slackware 8 from:
ftp://ftp.slackware.com/pub/slackware/slackware-8.0/isos/install.iso
. This cd image already contains speakup.

To find out what man does, simply type "man man" without the quotes followed by enter.

No programming under linux is not that different from programming in DOS. Hth.
