 ==============================================================================

 I have been fascinated by text to speech software since I got my first VOX BOX
 for my TRS-80 in 1984.  I ran across some C++ code on CodeGuru and decided to
 port it over to PowerBASIC and make it a command line utility.

 It's real simple, just pass the text you want spoken on the command line:

   dsay Hello, World!

 If you have the Microsoft Text to Speech Engine installed then you will hear 
 your text spoken using the default voice selected in the control panel.  It's 
 installed by  default in Windows XP, otherwise you can download it from:

   http://www.microsoft.com/speech/download/sdk51/
 

 It should also work well in a network or timed script.

 This product is freeware.  There is no fee for personal use.  It may not be
 distributed as part of a commercial product without this original text file
 describing the product.

 If you have any comments or suggestions, please feel free to email me.  The
 latest version of this product may be downloaded from my web site at

 Thanks!
