Anybody heard of Fretts?

Hi
Unfortunately I know of no way to link the mbrola voices to flite. However, 
to link it to festival is rather simple:
There are four files in the festival voice download site:
festvox_en1.tar.gz
festvox_us1.tar.gz
festvox_us2.tar.gz
festvox_us3.tar.gz
You only need one of these, depending on which mbrola voice you'd like to 
link it too. Extract the voices as you would normally. Next, go into the 
directory created by these voices and extract the corresponding mbrola zip 
file (make sure you preserve paths). Finally, put the mbrola binary in your 
path, mine's in /usr/local/bin.
Now, edit voices.scm (sometimes it's location varies, mine's in 
/usr/local/festival/lib). Move the xx#_mbrola item to the top of the voices 
list, where XX# is the name of the corresponding mbrola voice. Mine is
us2_mbrola
and i've got it at the top of the voices list. If you don't want to edit 
that file, you can remove any other festival voices you have, so the mbrola 
voice is the only one there.
