The original version of this program ran on SUN computers.  I only had to
change a couple of the function calls in speak.c to make it run on the
NeXT computer.  The program sounds about the same on both the NeXT's and
SUN's.  

The phoneme directory is specified in the Makefile.  The compiled version
assumes that the phoneme directory is ./phonemes.

You can use SoundEditor to edit the phonemes and improve the speech.  If
you create a better set of phonemes, let me know.

A couple of places things that would be fun to add:
1.  A NeXTStep interface to the program.
2.  Offer scat as a service.  (A user could highlight a section of text and
    have it spoken.)
3.  Make it so that it could pronounce words using the pronounciation given
    in webster.

I plan on adding 1 and 2, in my spare time.
