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
