Re: tcl-8.5 and emacspeak espeak server

[Jude DaShiell <jdashiel@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

that happened after those permissions ggot fixed.  There used to be some 
organ notes that played before emacspeak started speaking but those 
don't yet play on this computer.  I may have to do another make and make 
install somewhere to enable audio icons.
