Rawhide is Redhat's bleeding edge. You know, if it makes you bleed, it 
probably makes your hide raw, wouldn't you say?

More formally, it's Redhat's beta releases. Use at your own risk. Expect 
things to be broken, in other words.

On the same note what is Roswell?  Some say it is a beta (my own opinion),
others say it's Redhat 7.1 + updates and others say it doesn't exist! If it
were a beta then surely RedHat'd announce it properly?  The only new feature
I know of is the inclusion of Ext3, anyone know anyone else.  Also, when is
a proposed release date for 7.2?

Thanks, Saqib

Roswell is the beta, there was an announcement when it was origionally
released.  I'll try to dig it up for you.  It can be downloaded at any of
our mirror sites or our ftp site directly.  Rawhide is the latest builds
of the packages.  These packages are untested and unfinished.  After they
pass the QA tests they are either put in the next distro or they are
released as updates.

the following question in phrased in terms of emacspeak, because that is
my main interest, but I'm interested in screenreading software, too.
I've read the emacspeak documentation without finding an answer to
this question.  I would just install emacspeak, but I do not have 
access to a speech synth and my computer has no soundcard.

suppose I tell emacspeak to keep reading aloud till I say stop.  when I
say stop, will emacspeak know how many words the synth will have read?
in particular, can emacspeak automatically move point to right after the
last word read aloud?

how, in techie terms, does emacspeak come by this information?
ie, does the synth tell emacs how many words it read aloud?

I'd suggest you join the emacspeak list at
  emacspeak@cs.vassar.edu

Do not send mail here, but check at sourceforge for subscription
information.

Richard -

Some synthesizers (like the DECtalk) accept "marks" (special codes) in
the text streams they are speaking, and provide feedback when they
encounter a mark.  Others (like the Apollo) don't provide feedback as
a matter of course, but can be queried as to how many marks are in the
queued text.
