Is is possible to replace the standard narrator.library with an alternate?  I
am interested in changing the output quality of the Amiga wby replacing the
current formant based sppech algorithm with either a digitized speech sample
algorithm or a better formant algorithm (i.e. - more harmonics).

I have the 1.1 A-W Amiga-DOS RKM set, and only the 'what' of the
narrator.library is really well documented.  The 'why' and the 'how' are
very sketchy.  I realize that most of the implementation details are
proprietary, but I am looking for some detailed explanations.

Thanks in advance,
-ethan
