Some search on the internet showed me, that an flr file is some sorth of a decompiled flash rom file, that can be read as a text file. I also tried to open it in notepad, and the first line says: DECtalk Express Speech Synthesizer.<br>So it's readable.<br>And due to it was the largest file, and the only flr file, in the DECtalk Express driver, my conclution is, that I've now found the firmware for DECtalk Express.<br>Then, I'm wondering:<br>Can someone use this file for anything, or to make anything?<br>If the file is readable, and contains the firmware, then couldn't there be a possibelity so use it for making some SAPI DECtalk, or maybe a MAME rom or something like that, something that could enable people to use that DECtalk 4.2CD version for Windows as software?<o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span lang=EN>Best regards:<br>Aksel Christoffersen<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></body></html>
