> Believe it or not, to us, who are the old intrepid adventurers via the old
Infocom days, well, those days are now back!  I now have a link to a website
where some great gentleman, who is now my newest best friend, fixed the
problems with the WinFrotz 2002, and now has it with, Ta Da, speech
capability witch works!  Yeah!  The webmaster's name is Scott, and he is
looking for people, like us, who would give him some feedback regarding,
"tweaks" he has to make to remove all the bugs for people with visual
disabilities.  There is an E-mail address for him on one of those pages.

called

As

called

launch

> 6/ After completing step 5/, launch WinfrotzTTS again, select a story
file,
