down to it is that <br>the Speak window needs to be rewritten from scratch.
That program, in one <br>form or another, has been around for quite some time.
Technology changes, <br>and Speak probably hasn't kept up. Unfortunately, the
only Speak window I <br>know of which actually uses a dectalk.dll is the most
recent one, for the <br>so-nicknamed DECtalk 86. All the others I've seen
appear to have the actual <br>DECtalk code included within the Speak
executable. My thought is that, if <br>you had a dectalk.dll and knew how it
worked, you could write a replica <br>Speak window from scratch, in a language
of your choice.<br>Jayson<br><br>----- Original Message ----- <br>From:

thanks both of you for this project. maybe when you guys get the
