See our (somewhat outdated) website at http://users.wpi.edu/~blinux for a description of our work. Our code uses the device file system to transfer the data while yours appears to use a system call that was added for the purpose. Our code also includes SMP protections even though Speakup itself does not on the theory that sometime soon it may. The reason I am writing you is that your code does not mention anywhere (except in festival.h) under what lisence the code is being released. If you would tell us if your code is GPL'ed or under some similar lisence that would be useful as we may wish to use your middleware.c file as the basis on which to build our own. Thank You, Owen Smith ender3rd@wpi.edu blinux@wpi.edu
