revSpeak and embedded speech commands - cross-platform

[Kurt Kaufman]

I believe I may have mentioned this before:
The embedded speech commands do not fully function under Mac OS X.  For 
instance, the following:

[[pmod 0]] [[pbas 59]][[rate 100]]i [[pbas 60]][[rate 300]]would [[pbas 
62]][[rate 100]]while [[pbas 59]][[rate 200]]ah [[pbas 55]][[rate 
100]]way [[pbas 57]][[rate 200]]the [[pbas 59]][[rate 200]]ow [[pbas

when spoken using one of the following voices:
Princess; Kathy; Junior; Fred; Ralph; Trinoids; Zarvox

will "sing"......under Mac OS 8 or 9.  However, it appears that the 
command [[pmod 0]]  , which will prevent the usual modulation (based on 
position within structures such as sentences) is not effective under 
Mac OS X.

I have never seen anything on Apple's site to indicate that this change 
was deliberate.
