If you do "festival --tts" or "festival --tts filename" it bypasses all that lisp stuff. It will read out the contents of filename. I have set it up with a female voice and use netcat to attach it to a port on my client machine, then other computers on the network can telnet to it (using expect) and send ascii words that get spoken on my workstation. E.g., "I cannot ping the mailserver at so and so". Well, I think it is interesting. tts of this quality used to cost thousands.
I belive that Disney is one of the corporations that want 90 year copyrights? So they can profit from their Mickey mouse. For more years. It would kill the gutenberg project. http://www.gutenberg.org
I downloaded it and found it required egcs. The documentation make nasty comments about gcc. I downloaded egcs-1.1.1 and compiled/built it. Installing it, it installed over gcc. glibc now compiled but I did not install it. egcs broke some things. I had problems with ncurses and linux-2.2.1 stopped compiling. Maybe that was my problem. maybe that was egcs' problem. I got rid of egcs. Products like glibc have too many requirements. forget it.

How about when humans become extinct? Should
the next dominant species on Earth clone us?
