Read the docs with Xastir regarding how to start up the Festival
daemon.  Xastir uses the daemon mode rather than invoking it from
the command line.  This means the daemon needs to be running all the
time in order for Xastir to make use of it.

[Xastir] Configure Speech Window (all selections greyed out)

2008-04-20 Thread Robert Rogers
Hello all:

I had speech working on my last install on my old laptop. I've tested
festival and it is working from the command line. I'm running Ubuntu 7.10
and Xastir Version 1.9.3.

Bear with me I'm a linux newbie!

[Xastir] Current status on using 2007 FE maps at The Owl's Nest...

2008-04-20 Thread Richard Polivka, N6NKO

Currently, these are the maps that I am using:

arealm
areawater
county (state file)
edges
place (state file)
pointlm

The rest appear to be census service specific or not of good use for the 
xastir users at the moment.


Map layering of the files is quite important or details get covered up.

Gerry Creager received, from me, quantity two of the six DVD set of the 
complete 2007 FE maps and will put the maps up on his server for 
downloading Real Soon Now (Gerry, not a slam but an acknowledgment  of 
your current workload).


The quality, and consistency of the map data is all over the place. Some 
counties are well detailed, others look like barren deserts when they 
are not. Also, be warned that the map sets are storage intensive so it 
is best to remove the files that are not needed. Your friend here will 
be "qgis" to update and maintain the files. I will post the .dbfawk's 
and the map layering in another posting.


One issue I am seeing and I do not know if it is specific to my machine 
or not is that at magnification numbers < 17, area fills are not 
completing. I do not know if this is something new or an ongoing issue.


73 from 807,

Richard, N6NKO
