NOTES:
      - requires 68020+/68881+/~8+ megs/os2.04+[/ixemul48+]

      - uses Fredrik Wikstrom AHI('AUDIO:') output code, that is
        available here: ( http://a500.org/dl/flite-ahidriver.zip )

      - there is a small input interface(ARexx) made by me in 'c/', it loads the
        engine into memory and behaves like an old 'say' from Workbench 2.x,
        you will be needing 'FIFO:', that can be downloaded form Aminet:
        ( http://uk.aminet.net/dev/gg/fifolib-bin.lha )

      - plase note that benchmarks performed with non-ixemul versions
        are somewhat strange, perhaps this is fault of libnix's libmath,
        but ixemul ports are slower.

      - btw, i dont think this proggy is small ... ,but
        sounds -almost- like a human('flite16' - 16kHz samples) =D

      - read the docs, i have made conversion from .texinfo to .guide,
        see 'doc/'.
