[DECtalk] something i heard

it needs the commands.  Let me emplane why.   Most of you on this list just 
make Dectalk sing for fun.  People who can't  talk, have no other way of 
singing, Dectalk is the only way they have to  sing.  I'm one of them, but 
only one of many.  Today I'm trying to  finish "THE HALLELUJAH CHORUS" in 4 
part harmony so 4 people with Dectalk can  all sing together.  I wanted more 
parts but I can't find a version of sheet  music that has more than 4 parts.
 
In any event, there is a serious problem coming  up.  I have no idea why, 
but the 4.40 speak window will not install in the  latest update of Windows 
7, the en files will not associate with the speak  window.  I now have 3 
known computers that the speak window will not run  on.
 
Blake and I have posted about this several times but  it keeps getting 
ignored.  Guys, if we don't solve this problem, and if any  of you ever switch 
computers, you might not be able to run  Dectalk.

thanks  both of you for this project. maybe when you guys get the code 
compiled  wright, or the wright code at all, you can make a sapi version of 
dectalk that  is better than the stuff already put out there. maybe a sapi 
dectalk with not  just voices but commands and everything.
