Apparently, according to hj, there is improved "say all" functionality
promised in the 3.3 release of jfw.
So may be this could solve the problem.
The inability of jfw to read continuously through a long doc is a farely
common problem and arises with a variety of synths, as far as I'm aware.
Cheers,
Tim

Subject: Re: dec external and jaws
does your system have a make name? what is the bios? is it a p ii or
a p i?
sorry, but these things can make a difference. diamonds have been
known to cause problems with jfw. also, I don't understand your
reference to dos, modem and com1.
