Samuel, I've got the patch saved in my home directory. I have the current version of espeakup installed, but not the current version of espeak. What, if anything, do I need to do with the patch at this point? How do I run it? Would updating to the current espeak be advisable? I'm assuming so, but I don't wanna just assume. Everything happens after coffee!
