I found that by resetting the minimum height of the Synthesizer window to 750, I was able to resize it to fit on my 15-inch screen at 1280x800 resolution. Please consider making this change in the gnustep source. > I would be very grateful for any help you can offer, if only > criticism! :-) But one thing you could do is to port the "BigMouth" > App, the code for which you will find in the NeXTStep trunk.

When I tried to uncompress and untar nextstep/TextToSpeechKit/Release2.01/Dev/TextToSpeech.pkg/TextToSpeech.tar.Z, it said "This does not look like a tar archive". The "file" command simply says it is "data".
