emacspeak on slackware 9.1?

[Jude DaShiell]

Has anyone managed to get that combination verbal?  There was a 1 line 
patch to insert at top of server files /usr/bin/tcl and some variables to 
export and I got that all done but it had no noticeable auditory effects. 
I was using the emacspeak-ss-1.9.1 package that came on the slackware 9.1 
disk in the extra directory on disk 2 when all of this happened.
