I'm wondering how this module was made to work. After the viavoice was no longer compatible, I managed to do a painful build where I had two versions of glibc installed, one for use with viavoice and one that was current. Spent many hours on this, and although it worked, I eventually gave up on viavoice. Does this mean capital accessibility is able to rebuild the ibm viavoice (actually eloquence inside) tts engine for compatibility with new c libararies? Or does it use some kind of wrapper code as compatibility layer? Can programs be compiled from source using the eci.h header? Glad to see viavoice is still alive. -- Doug
