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).

All from Debian stable, although I did hack in some extras from
tux.org (the details escape my memory).

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 ;-)
