Need help with Festival and Dectalk Rt

[David Jennette]

I am using a Dectalk Express with Speakup, but I am trying to get 
Gnopernicus to speak with Festival.  It's not saying anything.  I 
can't even get festival to speak from the comand line.  it won't say 
anything when I give it the SayText command either.  It would be nice 
to see if Dectalk Rt works but when I type installer it just comes 
back with no such file or directory even though it's sitting right 
there.At 09:50 AM 8/24/2005, you wrote:
