Oh line eater, come here boy!
I've just added all the 1.3 thingies (libraries, devices, a few commands etc.)
to my usual boot up disk and have run into a problem with the SPEAK:
device. I've got an entry in devs/mountlist and I mount SPEAK: along with
a few other devices (like AUX:) in my startup scripts. SPEAK: does work,
if I "cat foofile > SPEAK:" it will merrily read out the file to me. What I
can't seem to do is toggle any of the option - change from male to female
voice, change speed, pitch, punctuation, etc. I've tried all the examples
(and all the options) listed in the 1.3 (AmigaDos upgrade manual) but I
always get the same output! I've tried this from Matt's shell, and a 1.3
CLI, but get the same thing. I use mostly ARP commands and run with a number
of things "Rez'ed" like dme, Xicon, ls etc. So what is it that I am missing
that is sooooooo obvious? Has anyone else played with it and not gotten it to
work? I followed the examples explicitly, i.e. "cat foofile > SPEAK:OPT/f/n" or
"cat foofile > SPEAK:OPT/n/p200" from Matt's shell or "type foofile
> SPEAK:OPT/f/n/d1/s100" from a CLI - and no dice! Can somebody "hep the boy!"
thanks.

Can somebody "hep the boy!" You found a bug...OPT needs to be in lower case. (sorry) -- andy finkel {uunet|rutgers|amiga}!cbmvax!andy Commodore-Amiga, Inc.

Hey, I tried the examples--no problem. . . . except for the tcb listing showing one copy of SPEAK: for each time I copied to it. Why isn't it terminating?????
