Brandon,
I don't know if a recording exists of Dennis Klat having Dectalk sing Happy
Birthday to his daughter. However, here's the version of Happy Birthday that
Snoopi programmed with Dectalk and mixed with music.

	Indeed it was happy birthday, son to his daughter Laura. Shortly
after that someone in our group had a birthday so we programmed the DTC 01
to call him at three o'clock in the morning to wish him a happy birthday.
	
	The speech program was really meant as a test program and not an
application. It is dumb as a stump and assumes any file fed to it is ASCII
text.

		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.
