PEP Bullwinkle (version 1.02)
=============================
!PEP-Bull is an amusing demonstration of how speech synthesis can be used.
It utilises software written by PEP Associates for the SpeechSystem package.
If you have the Atomwide VIDC enhancer fitted, you may need to edit the !Run
file to get it to sound right. However, this should only be necessary if you
have the enhancer switched on all the time, otherwise the software should
work as-is.
You can change the text and speech produced by Bullwinkle by editing the
"Wisdoms" file. The program "MakeWisdom" may be used to automate the
creation of the "Wisdoms" file; simply write the text then run "MakeWisdom"
to have the phoneme text added in. Please note, however, that "MakeWisdom"
needs SpeechSystem in order to translate the text into the phonemes.
Out of date modules
-------------------
This demo uses a shareable module - ABCLibrary. This module is available
from other sources in earlier versions (eg Genesis comes with an older
version of ABCLib). Unfortunately, once a particular version of this module
has been loaded, it cannot safely be replaced because an active application
may be using it and the machine will crash as a result.
Thus, if the demo notices that the module is already in memory but it is
too old, it complains rather than attempts to replace it. If this happens,
you should locate the old version of the module on your disc(s) and replace
it with the version supplied within the demo. Existing applications will
continue to work happily with this newer versions.
