[DECtalk] question about sapi dectalk

Snoopi has a copy of the Dectalk 5.0 speak window. However, Fonix prohibits
him from making the Dectalk 5.0 speak window publicly available.  Snoopi, I
wonder if you could create a recording of the 5.0 speak window so people on
the list will know what it sounds like? I've never heard the 5.0 speak
window.
