Humm, strange. It is installed, its in my $path and once found, works,
without the path in front of the invocation, albeit quietly despite all
the "knobs" being turned wide open. Ditto for FF, news stories now have
audio. Not loud enough for old ears, but there. When I get some of the
other stuff working again, I'll have to drag in my scope and see if its
good at the mobo jacks. Wally's choice of pc speakers is $20, or $250
for your tv, and the $20 ones need all the electrolytic's replaced about
annually. BTDT once since I couldn't buy a better set. These are about
due again I suppose.
Thank you, David.
Cheers, Gene Heskett
