A Graphical User Interface for Chatr

Abstract:Chatr is a powerful system and I like the quality of the speech synthesis, but the Unix style command line interface is not intuitive and the current code (Feb 98, V0.93) is not at all easy to understand. To improve the first disadvantage and to encourage some work on the second I had some ideas to build a native Windows 32 bit application with a graphical user interface. Due to my short stay at ATR (14 weeks) and the fact that I had to specify everything by myself it was obvious that I could not finish the job, so I will provide this documentation to help other people understanding my code without having to learn Visual C++ for some months.
