 SpeechToy was initially released in 1985.  To this day, it
 is the only program I know of that uses the mouth values
 returned by the narrator device.  For what?  Well, for those
 that have never seen it, it not only "speaks" in famous
 Amiga style, but also presents a face with a moving mouth!
 
 This is a new SpeechToy, ported to JForth, and incorporates
 2.0+ style shaded gadgets and colors, and a new feature, a LOOP
 button, permitting repetative narration.  Also, I fixed some
 bugs in the original 1985 C source (which is included).
 
 As I ported this program, I discovered a Commodore include
 file bug that introduced incompatibility in the use of the
 narrator mouth values between 1.3 and 2.0+.  Details, as
 well as a workaround, are presented.  This SpeechToy will
 work fine under any OS version.
 
 The package includes executable and JForth source, as well
 as a corrected version of the original 1985 C source (for those
 who might like to compare the two).
