I have a stack called HyperMacintalk that I got a while back (a year or two).
The stack is copyright 1987 by Dennis C. DeMars.  This stack includes a good
tutorial about speech (phonemes, etc) as well as numerous XCMDS that use the
Macintalk driver.

Well, I recently noticed that the copy of Macintalk I had no longer worked.
Someone sent me the latest, version 2.0.  Included with it was an XCMD
called 'macintalksay'.  I can use Macintalk fine via this XCMD.  But none
of the XCMDS in Mr. DeMars' stack work any more.  Also, the stack got
rather screwed up when I converted it to 2.0 (fields and buttons moved out
of their correct places).

Does anyone know if there is a more recent version of the HyperMacintalk
stack?  Or has anyone written XCMDS to work with the new Macintalk driver? 
Specifically, Mr. DeMars provided an XCMD called 'SayPhonetic' that spoke 
phonemes.  I need this capability.  

Also, I am not much of a hacker, but is there some way to change the name
of that 'macintalksay' XCMD to just 'say'? 'macintalksay' is a little L O N G
for my tastes...  Can I do this with ResEdit somehow?

Thanks in advance.
