Text to Speech on XP

[Phil Davis]

Hi Mark,

I built a quick speechTest standalone on XP Pro SP2 just now, and here's how it 
went.

- the 'revSpeak' command works fine without any fiddling

- the 'Externals' folder containing revspeech.dll is at the same level as my 
.exe file

- 'the externals of this stack' answers empty
- 'the externalCommands of this stack' answers empty
- 'the externalFunctions of this stack' answers empty
- 'the externalPackages of this stack' answers empty

??? Does Rev consider its revspeech.dll to be an external?

Maybe 'the externals' lists only those externals added by setting 'the externals'?

Thanks -
Phil Davis
