THE FILES ON THIS TAPE ARE INTENDED TO BE USED
TO GENERATE SPEECH VIA A VOTRAX VSK UNIT.  WE HAVE
INTERFACED THIS UNIT TO AN ASYNCHRONOUS LINE AT
9600 BAUD.  INCLUDED IN OUR INTERFACE IS A 160 BYTE
FIFO BUFFER.  A CHARACTER CAN BE REQUESTED TO INDICATE WHETHER
OR NOT THIS BUFFER IS 3/4 FILLED.  THIS CONSIDERABLY
SIMPLIFIES THE TIMING OF THE OUTPUT STREAM.
	THESE ROUTINES RUN UNDER RSX-11M V3.1 ON A PDP-11/55.
FORTRAN IV+ AND MACRO-11 ARE USED.
 
RULES.VSK	THIS IS MOSTLY CROWLEY'S ADAPTATION OF NRL RULES
		WITH THESE CHANGES:
		 1. ! SYMBOL USED TO ALLOW UNSEPARATED
			PUNCTUATION
		 2. SOME PRONUNCIATION OF PUNCTUATION
		 3. A VERY FEW ADDED RULES
		 4. SEVERAL TYPOS CORRECTED
RULES.CMP	CMP LISTING BETWEEN MY RULES AND CROWLEY'S
RULES.FTN	THIS PROGRAM CONDENSES THE ASCII VERSION OF 
		THE RULES TO AN INTERNAL FORM
RULES.CMD	BUILD FILE FOR RULES.FTN
RULES.PAR	CONDENSED VERSION OF THE RULES
RULIST.FTN	THIS PROGRAM PRINTS TRANS.PAR IN A READABLE
		FORM (MOSTLY FOR DEBUGGING)
RULIST.CMD	BUILD FILE FOR RULIST.FTN
TRANST.FTN	A TEST PROGRAM TO DRIVE TRANS.  IT ACCEPTS A FILE
		SPECIFIER (INCLUDING OF COURSE TI:) THEN TRANSMITS
		THE FILE CONTENTS TO TRANS.  REFERENCES TO NCELL
		AND CELL CODE REFER (ESSENTIALLY) TO THE 
		IDENTIFICATION OF THE VSK SERIAL PORT.
TRANST.CMD	BUILD FILE FOR TRANST.FTN
TRANS.FTN	MOSTLY CROWLEY'S VERSION CONVERTED TO FOR+.
		IT READS THE CONDENSED VERSION OF THE RULES
		ON ENTRANCE AND CALLS VSK SUB FOR OUTPUT.
BCOMP.FTN	BYTE COMPARE FUNCTION USED BY TRANS AND RULES
BAND.MAC	BYTE "IAND" FUNCTION USED BY TRANS AND RULES
VSKS.FTN	SUB TO SEND RECORD ON TO SERIO IF THERE'S ROOM
		IN THE FIFO
SERIOS.FTN	INTERCHANGES DATA WITH VSK (VIA DL-TYPE INTERFACE)
VSP.MAC		MACRO PROGRAM TO INITIALIZE COMMON BLOCK FOR
		TRANSLATION OF VOTRAX PHONEMES FROM ASCII TO
		INTERNAL FORM.
