I was wondering if speakup's loadspk had such a feature. All the doubletalk's manual covers is the dos batch file, but it just sends the file in raw form to the doubletalk. That's what I'd like to do with speakup. On Tue, 30 May 2000, Victor Tsaran wrote: > Hey, Jacob! > Did you look through DoubleTalk's manual? I think they discuss some of these > issues there.
