Owen: Re: Software Speech Synth with Speakup -- Help, please.

[Hugh Esco]

Mr. Smith:

Thank you so much for your kind offer.  I've copied the relevant posts back 
to the list (in case others might help) under this new subject line.  My 
apologies for gumming of the list with these re-posts.

The one outstanding issue, I think is getting middleware to execute and 
scripting it in to the start-up routines.  The posts I sent though go back 
through the process and show how it is I got to where I am now.
