Running festival in sever mode is a huge security hole, you can enter arbitrary scheme code to fiddle with files on the system, for example. It might not be a good idea to package something that requires the user open a gigantic security hole on their system to be useful. I have a simple perl program written that runs as a wrapper around festival in tts mode, accepts multiple clients, and says whatever any of them feed into it. I've attached that. -- see shy jo
