Re: [orca-list] Ttsynth/Ibmtts will no longer work, as of Ubuntu hardy 8.04.

["Rich Caloggero" <rjc MIT EDU>]

Is there a way of getting a copy of this library, and reinstalling it when
Hardy comes out?  What is the URL to download it? Its probably too early to
know, but do you think it will work if installed on Hardy?

-- Thanx, Rich
