In the referenced message, I wrote:

Initial response has been almost unanimous: "How do I make it louder?"
Well, there's a way to make your SPARCstation's default volume be louder,
but I'm not allowed to tell you about it.  Instead, I have increased
the volume of the samples until they seem loud enough on a freshly
rebooted SPARC.  Fetch this new version as above.  Also included in the
new tar file is a shell script version of saytime, by david@eng.sun.com.

The second most common response has been "I can't FTP can you mail it to
me?"  The answer to this is, of course, that I can but I won't.  Perhaps
it will appear in comp.sources.sun eventually; perhaps not.  If you want
it now, you either FTP it or you find someone other than myself who can
FTP it and is willing to mail it to you.
