Hi,
I've tried and tried to get speak.tos to work with stspeech.tos now,
and although I can get it to say line input, I cannot get it accept any
kind of file. The problem seems to be that there are no reserved
commands; the program simply says everything I type in, even if it is
"speak <file.txt>" or whatever the docs said.
I couldn't manage to get the uudecode/arc file working, but the
author was kind enough to include the c source code, which I managed to
compile and link and all that. Can anyone help ?
Thanks,

Your problem is that you aren't including the I/O redirection code into your program. I/O redirection must be handled by the program itself, since GEMDOS ignores it (although the COMMAND.PRG shell knows what you mean; you could run it from there). I don't use Megamax C; but look in the manual for something that says I/O redirection or some such.

I/O redirection WILL work from the desktop. Just make sure the program has a .TTP file type and do the redirection o the command line. Also I've noticed that there must be NO spaces between the ">" or "<" and the file name. P.S. For those who are not familiar with I/O redirction, type ">filename" to redirect program output to a file and type "<filename" to redirect file data to replace keyboard input. I wrote the Speak program to use the standard input (the keyboard). However, file redirection will cause the program to read a file instead. Steve Bate ARPA: smb.mdc@office-1.arpa -------

You have to invoke STSPEAK.TTP directly (not through stspeech.tos), which will in turn invoke stspeech.tos appropriately. First rename stspeak.tos (or speak.tos) to stspeak.ttp (or speak.ttp), and then double-click on it. Type "<filename" for the parameter list (without the quotes, i.e., left-angle followed immediately by the name of the input file). Then sit back and listen. -- Ashwin.
