The MapSignal remote speech editor
Abstract:MapSignal is a speech editing terminal program running on the Macintosh. With it, one
can visualize and manipulate speech data that is resident on a remote host machine.
Communication with the host is done via a serial line, but despite the low channel
bandwidth MapSignal is fast. The protocol is based upon the host's normal shell, allowing
easy interaction between user and host. Installation of MapSignal on a new host requires
only the compilation of two simple commands. MapSignal is thus an interesting solution to
the problem of portability.
