[lojban-beginners] Re: Check pronunciation, please?

Not sure why it wanted to binhex them all. I just uploaded a .zip of the .wav. 
Hopefully that will work.

Thanks.

You would think so.  :-/

times, and I don't have the skills to do it myself).

I haven't found one on the
web yet, so I've been working  on my own, using the speech synth
built into Mac OS X. If one of you  have time, could you listen to
http://homepage.mac.com/johnatl/.cv/johnatl/Public/mi_viska.aiff- binhex.hqx 
or
http://homepage.mac.com/johnatl/.cv/johnatl/Public/mi_viska.wav- binhex.hqx 

and let me know if it's even close to being right?


That's *really* hard for Windows users to deal with.  Is it possible
for you to make zip versions?
