error starting emacspeak under red hat 9

[Guy Abandon.]

<<suggest is that you buy the
$50 dectalk runtime for linux -- that will work with emacspeak and
you can have both at once.>>

I approve of this and have considered it often enough and will more
when wallet permits.  I've read criticisms though even then that it
lacks the level of control you have with real hw synths like the
Apollo I have.  Not being able to interrupt and shut-up output would
annoy me.

Would this level of use of the sound card get in the way of using the
sound for sound's sake....   like the jukebox facility I've been doing
these past few weeks.  It's taking this long to load it with all the
CD's I have here.

I have another spare box though, so might keep jukebox as just that
and start again with a Slackware work machine.

GA!
