I have Digichat working under Konqueror and Blackdown Java, which is great as previously I only ever got this reliably under IE and W98. Netscape 4.7 and SUN JRE kind of works for as long as I got no private messages (I should be so lucky).

Thanks - I'll probably live without it. Whilst on browser plugins I was looking at making Konqueror talk to me... not quite there yet, but "festival", the underlying speech engine seems to read Alice in Wonderland tolerably well (I may have to slow it down whilst I get my ear in). Noted on the "apt" install that it needs a voice. Since there is a selection of voices it ought to instruct me that I need one of the voice downloads rather than fall over in a heap when I run it... Is this a pattern of dependency that apt ought to support, as I had it with some games. The graphics library was available for X, SVGA, and several other drivers, but "apt" didn't install any. Presumably it needs to find a package that provides the services rather than depend on a growing list of alternatives. Okay these examples were obvious to me, but then I have some experience of graphics programming behind me (hell I even knew what calcomp was once!). Or does "apt" do this and I'm just missing something basic.... Like not reading the output ;-) Simon PS: Megahal is cool - have a play -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQE+USwXGFXfHI9FVgYRAoWvAJ9cW3ba/OaCrjiaWDY46dKdYUNz6QCgrkNP mYhxOjzIR96MHX6nvFmc7K0= =R/GQ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG Mail majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxx with "unsubscribe list" in the message body to unsubscribe.
