I am using Macintalk from Think C 4.0 on a Mac IIx
and I have been having problems with Macintalk.

When the program "talks" the first time it works fine.
In fact, in works fine for awhile. But then I do some
CopyBits and DrawStrings and the "talking" doesn't work.

I have used the Think C Debugger to check out the data
structures used in the talk routines, and they look OK.
(No null handles or scrambled strings). The output from
the Reader procedure seems good. There is just no sound.
 
When the talking doesn't work it does put the machine 
on hold for the time it would take to "say" the speech.
Sort of like the Mac has lost it's voice.
 I don't *know* what the problem could be, but I tried
some guessing like locking the speech handle. 

I have been working with this for quite some time and keep
coming up with the same problem. 

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thankyou,

Jennifer Lanham
