Luckily, the two interfaces already existant are in the two languages I
can read best, besides Perl, so I plan to read them both.  Have read the
C interface and the info document describing SSIP already and it looks
quite easy to use.  I am sure I'll be proved wrong but it looks to me
like it'll actually be a very simple project to knock up an interface
for the thing!  Yay!

BTW, you said the Py interface was in the current sources - where
exactly?  It's not in the speech-dispatcher_0.1.orig.tar.gz tarball I
downloaded.  Did you mean hidden in the CVS repository?  If so, could
you give me exact instructions for grabbing it, something I can paste
into a get_python_interface.sh script?  I really am TOTALLY CRAPPY at
CVS.  Unfortunately.  I keep trying to learn the damm thing and it keeps
defeating me.  The fact that one of my best friends wrote the O'Reilly
book on the topic doesn't help, I'm sure!!
