Hi Frank.  I am at a loss then to know how to specify a speech synthesizer 
for SuSE to use.  When I installed it, it auto-detected my Braille 
terminal, but nothing else.  I can find only extremely poor documentation 
related to SuSE B-Linux, and no mention of speech synthesis anywhere.  If 
you could give me a clue where to follow this up, I will be happy to do so, 
and very grateful.  I think I'm going to have to stick with SuSE, as 
Slackware will not see my additional hard disks or I/O controller.  I also 
have no idea where to locate Braille TTY, so I'm sort of stuck.  I 
appreciate what you say about nobody else around here using SuSE, guess I'm 
on my own with that, <smile>.  Thanks anyway.
