thankee, polyt. the URL's were right on the money!
okay, here's the update. I spent much of saturday cleaning and
fixing the VBC program. I will probably split some things off
into a vbc.h header file to make things a bit neater. but here
is where I need at least one volunteer from the BSD world.
you'll need to have espeak and vim/gvim installed. And, of course,
the gtk libraries. and maybe gnome, altho I cant see why. this
stuff already works on three versions of linux that run the
GNOME Desktop.
anybody have time to test in, say, a week or two?
gary
ps: if the Makefile works and it builds and execs, that
will be a ++good sign :)
