I am asking you amigatech's out there for some help about opening my printer and or speach devices. I have tried both as DOS devices [ Open("PRT:", MODE_NEWFILE); and Open("SPEAK:", MODE_NEWFILE); I also tried both with MODE_OLDFILE] and as devices using exec routines a la RKM. Both failed. However, SPEAK: works if I have previously used SPEAK:. I don't understand why it would do this. If ANYONE could set me on the right track, I'd be happy. Thanx.

Try using fopen("prt:","w") — It works for me!

Brian, I dunno what your application is, but over in 'arts is a couple programs I wrote that use the speech functions. One is TALK3.ARC, (or .LZH?) and is for 1.3, the other is for 2.0 and is called TALKER.LZH. Both include sourcecode, the latter is better commented. good luck! –Eet–
