-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I have written a patch for speakup which uses the iso-8859-1 charset instead of the extended ascii charset. At least on my current debian system this makes speakup announce characters above 127 as I would expect. I am not sure I have *anywhere near* all of the bugs out, but at least I like the change. Please let me know if you try this patch and have any problems, and Kirk if you don't mind taking a look ant letting me know if there's anything I have overlooked I would appreciate it. As it was too big to attach the patch can be found at the following address. http://tomass.dyndns.org/~stivers_t/speakup.c.patch Or if you want it I can email it directly. - -- Unix is a user friendly operating system. It just picks its friends more carefully than others.
