Subject: PlayString External update 

This is an update to the PlayString external for 4th Dimension. The
original had occasional crashing problems when used with the new Apple
Sound Manager 3.0. This file should replace the original in the appropriate
archive.

PlayString is a free and simple external procedure for 4th Dimension that
will play sounds associated with characters in a string. The sounds and
characters used by PlayString are user configurable. PlayString also allows
control of the Macintosh sound volume.

Some possible uses are:

     Dialing the phone
     Reading characters aloud
     Creating Voicemail-type messages

Enjoy!
