On the old machine I seem to bu suing an executable called "say" to create some audibale prompts. I vauegly seem to remeber it came from somewhere in the ports collection. Looking t todays massive lsit, I'm afraid it does not stick out. I reckon I could write a wrapper script for destival. but this seems much simpler. Can anyone remind me where this came from? -- "They that would give up essential liberty for temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." -- Benjamin Franklin To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
