Re: tcl 8.4 and emacspeak

["T. V. Raman" <raman@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

for 8.4 replacing file0 with stdin and file1 with stdout will
work.

The problem with making this change in the code base now is that
one would need to test all the speech servers under both tcl8.3
and 8.4 -- something that I myself dont have the time to do right
now.

This is something that is worth fixing however, so if everyone
pitches in, it might be doable.

In the minimum  here's what is needed before the code can be
safely changed:

for server in servers:
  for os in [redhat, fedora, suse, debian, ubuntu ...]:
      runUpdatedServer
      SendBriefEmail

sendBriefEmail should contain:

os server pass
or 
os server fail
