Fragment of an „Questions & Answers“ text accompanying an old DOS program :
Q. „Speech on the IBM PC is not just a case of ‘yet another Lotus-1-2-3’ but a basic piece of innovative software which is being incorporated into several commercial products at this very moment. Releasing an un-supported non-commercial product of this nature is a highly irresponsible act which we cannot stand by and watch without doing our utmost to prevent“ - a UK company talking about the PLAY program.
A. (I’ll let you make your own answer up, send me your favourite.)
Note : The DOS program „PLAY“ was able to „play“ files containing sound like speech.
This text seems to originate in the early 90s of the last century, I suppose. It’s printed out in my archive without any accompanying notes, so it remains an interesting fragment.
