Tedd,
On all of the *nix boxes I use (and have used) I've had to install
Festival manually, so I would definitely not say that it's commonly
found on
there.... especially for a server configuration.
But it IS commonly available, so why not just make it a prerequisite for
utilizing this utility?

Richard:
I've read about Festival and there are even some php routines that
use it. But I'm doing this from/for a virtual host. I'm looking for a
set of routines that I could place server-side and thus use to speak
web text.
I need something that I can share with others, not something special
for just my site.
-OR-
Is there a standard *nix package that I could access via exec to do
this? Is Festival commonly found on *nix?
You see, what I'm thinking is, if I can get the code/technique, then
I might be able to provide a way for non-technical types to have
their sites speak. Maybe it's just foolish thinking, but I'm prone to
that. :-)
Thanks for your help.
Cheers,
tedd
