Giovanni Moretti: 

You posted a notice in July asking if there was an
appointment calendar with a command line interface that could
be used with a speech synthesizer.   

The MKS Toolkit has a command line appointment calendar program.
I think the program could run stand alone, ie, without all the
MKS Toolkit operating system installed, but I'm not sure.
The program user interface is similar to the UNIX*(R) PCS Calendar 
program.

If you are interested and want more information, contact 
Mortice Kern Systems, Inc.

(Standard disclamer: I'm not associated with that company, nor even a
current user of one of their products.  I do have a co-worker who uses 
their Toolkit, which is how I found about the calendar program.)

If you or your friend have any information on speech synthesis
products, I'd be interested in hearing from you.  I'm trying
to find one that works well with AT&T's PC/PBX software, so a blind
person could use that software.
