Dectalk speech

[Jim Grimsby]

Hi, gwmicro has maid no setting to make the express firmware work with
just window eyes.  To unpack and install the firmware you will need
access to a dos box so you can update your firmware on your express.  If
you have a dectalk pc then you will need to get the firmware for linux.

Is gwmicro the only location for the firmware?  i took down the ex_us 
file, but it will not unpack properly in a strict dos machine. I am
going to try it again, but had to wonder if they had done anything to 
the setup to work with window eyes.
Thanks,
Karen
