S3a to speak the current time whenever it is switched on, using sampled sound. SAYTIME makes use of the SAYNUM library, which is supplied as translated Q
code; source code is available separately.
Installation is simple: just copy the two .OPO files into any \OPO directory, and the .WVE files into a \WVE directory. The .OPL file is not necessary to run the program.
Once the program is run, it will put itself into the background; each time the machine is switched on, it will speak the current set time. To quit the program, either change to it and hit Psion
Escape, or Delete it from the system screen.
The .WVE files included were recorded by me, and aren't of particularly good quality; they're intended as an example, and I suggest you record your own. (If anyone has better-sounding ones, please pass them back to me!)
The .WVE file contents should be clear from their names. Many are the same as the ones included with the full SAYNUM package, and can be copied over them without difficulty.
As is usual, I have to issue a disclaimer of liability; if anything you do with this program wrecks your love life, destroys your S3a, gets you arrested, starts World
III, or indeed does anything else you consider an adverse outcome, you have my sympathies but very little else.
On the other hand, comments and suggestions are always welcome.
