Perhaps it was a part of the OS install on later MacOS versions? Anyhow,
I downloaded the English TTS part of PlainTalk this morning and installed
that... it appears to work ok.

Yeah, that's where I got the copy of 7.5.3 to install onto it. Very
useful site.
Now, a new problem. When I try and run the 7.5.5 upgrade, it starts to
install (with the progress meter), and then says that it can't be
installed and aborts. I downloaded it from the Apple 'Older Software
Downloads' page on apple's site, and the Disk Copy images
checksum-verify ok.
Ideas? It's not a huge deal, as all this machine will probably do is be
used to talk, but it'd be nice to get the bugfixes.
Thanks
