6                                             Abstract
 
R         The  DECtalk  support  library  contains  an  extensive  collection   of
R         subroutines, written in C, that should simplify application development.
R         It includes subroutines to carry out DECtalk specific functions, such as
R         answering  the  phone,  as  well  as low-level operating-system specific
E         functions, such as generating and parsing escape sequences.
  
R         Several simple application programs are  also  provided,  including  the
R         DECtalk  telephone  demonstration  program and a "spoken fortune cookie"
R         program.  There are also sample programs written in Basic-Plus and COBOL
         for RSTS/E.
  
R         All source modules are provided,  including  several  operating-specific
R         libraries   also   distributed   with   Decus  C  (11-SP-18).   The  Vax
R         distribution contains source files and executable code, while the PDP-11
R         distribution  contains  only  source modules.  Unix installations should
R         obtain the PDP-11 distribution and make their own arrangements for  tape
"         file format translation.
