[DECtalk] File association problem

[Alex H.]

Happy birthday from Dennis Klatt. He introduced singing into DT
because he wanted to say happy birthday to his daughter in a special
way. That's what I've heard.

I really can't comment on setting speak to open .en files with win7 as
I just use the builtin open function in speak directly. However, wasnt
there a playdec program written some years ago for the 4.3 program
that would dump a txt or .dec file into speak by copying the file and
runnig speak? I think with a few lines of code changed, it should work
for .en files too.

HTH.
