[DECtalk] SETTING REGiSTRY SETTINGS

Thanks!  However that link is not working, is  there something wrong?
 
By the way, you have nothing to worry about.  I know  little about 
programming.  When things slow down my boyfriend Dave is going  to teach me HTML.  He 
just learned it a year ago after my first software  release crashed,  For a full 
year we've been working night and day to get  this all working.  It's been 
hard on me because I just moved to this area  last year and haven't had any time 
to meet anyone.  I'm lonely for friends  but have the entire disabled 
community nation wide waiting on this  project.  I can't wait to be done with this!
 
It's too late to deal with registries this time around.   We did a video that 
tells people how to set the *.en by hand.  But man it's  bugging me to do it 
that way.  So I'll download the program because I want  to do it anyway for my 
own use.  But if we can do an easy upgrade, I want  to use it.
 
That's why I seem so stupid, I know BASIC DOS programming  which does me no 
good in this day and age.  That's why I can't even do a  simple search and 
replace, I don't know how.  I'm totally self  taught.  3 days ago I opened up 
notepad and wrote "Rename *.txt *.en" and  saved it as a bat file.  The darn thing 
actually worked.  I know  that's really sick that I just figured that out, 
but Windows has me lost.   I miss having a command prompt where you can directly 
type instructions.   But now everything has to be in a bat file first.
 
HTML seems easy.  Dave told me some font codes and I  thought it was simple.  
So I'm hoping it will all be easy for me.  I'm  not new to programming at 
all, I just never had anyone show me Windows.  So  I couldn't modify anything 
even if I wanted to because I don't know how.   All I can do well is audio files. 
 I have a program that will turn any  music file into a karaoke track.  Then 
I can save it, convert it, add the  Dectalk vocals, add sound effects, and 
everything.  Haven't figured out how  to put stuff in stereo, but I'm trying.
 
I seem smart, but God there's so much I don't know.  You  bet I'll gibe you 
the credit, but I have a dumb question.  Dave and I call  you ratguy.  Maybe I 
missed it but I don't know your name.

Hi,
Please look at my Playdec application.  Do some of the  DECtalk demos allow
specifying a filename on the command line?  If  not, then Playdec is for you!
Playdec uses an initialization file and takes  the full pathname of a DECtalk
file on the command line.  It then  copies that file to whatever file the
DECtalk demo opens by default, runs  the DECtalk demo you specify and exits.
For more info,  see
http://www.bluegrasspals.com/dectalk/software/playdec.zip
If you  decide to use this program on your CD, all I ask is that you give me
credit  for the Playdec program.  Also, I ask that neither the program nor
the  documentation be modified in any way, with the possible exception  of
inclusion of new file association instructions or correction of  those
already there.  You are free to include the Playdec source code  if you wish
to do so.
Jayson.
