Hi Saqib, Just a guess, but you won't get Speakup and Emacspeak into Zipspeak. Reason being: Emacs is to freakin huge, which would make the distro too large to fit on the target Zip disk media. However, at least Slack 7.0 had something called "Bigslack", which was a larger version of Zipslack, including KDE and a bunch of other stuff, all to reside on a UMSDOS file system as Zipspeak does. Perhaps a Bigspeak distro could accommodate both Emacspeak and Speakup? Only thing is, we might wanna get modified Emacspeak servers such as Matt did with the Doubletalk server that will address /dev/synth so that one synth can be used for both programs. I suspect you could not bundle in IBM ViaVoice for Emacspeak in this theoretical version due to licensing restrictions on ViaVoice. So Matt, are you up for modifying speech servers? :) -- Buddy Brannan, KB5ELV | History is made by stupid people. Email: davros at ycardz.com | Clever people wouldn't even try.
