        Looks Like we'll need a BSD alternative :)

As of the next slackware Linux release Emacspeak will be bundled with the rest
of the slackware system.

What this means in real terms is that anyone installing the next release of
slackware linux will be offered the option of installing emacspeak --this
means a blind user will have everything she needs right there --no going out
to the network to grab the various pieces.

Also makes Linux the first OS to ship with an access utility as part of the
base system--

Thanks much! I've made all the required changes, have included the new
versions of Tcl, Tk, and TclX, and put your packages where they need to
go. Very nicely built package submission, I might add. :^)

Have a good one,

Pat
