- Talker Hack V2.5
- Copyright ©1989 James D. Williams
-
- This program will speak any text file or a line of text up to 80 characters.
-
- Usage: From the CLI ONLY; do not `run' it.
- 1> Talker <filename>
- Where filename is an optional text file that you wish spoken.
- If you leave off the filename, it will prompt you for a text string to speak.
-
- While it has several shortcomings, it should be enough to help you learn to
- design your own, similar program. Permission is _NOT_ granted to use this code
- in any commercial product, source or executable. Sorry I didn't comment better,
- it's a bad habit from my BASIC days. If you want some explaination,
- you should read the accompanying article in Transactor for the Amiga magazine.
- A good way to test the program, by the way, is to have it speak this file.
-
- I wish you luck in your dealings with the narrator.device.
- If you wish to reach me for comment or questions, feel free to do so,
- either on Compuserve's AmigaForum, or on Sam's Place BBS;

- "A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion,
- butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance,
- accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders,
- give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyse a new problem,
- pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty mean, fight efficiently,
- die gallantly. Specialization is for insects." L. Long
