[Newbies] Re: Executing an external program

There is not (yet) a general cross-platform solution. If you can explain what kind of program you are trying to run, maybe I can give a suggestion.

Thanks for for your feedback.

I want to run the espeak program for speech synthesis. Basically I just want to run a command like:

espeak "Speech a few word"

or

espeak "Speech a few word" -w output.wav

In the first case, it may be better if the command is executed in non blocking mode for Squeak. In the second mode a blocking mode may be better, or even semaphore will be helpful.
