DESCRIPTION
     Allows  sending  commands	and/or test to a festival test-to-speech server.
     Festival may be started in server mode using the option --server

     festival-clinet allows waveforms ot be generated faster as not time is  re-
     quired  for  start  up.  See the festival manual for more details on recom-
     mended use.

	     dard commands (useful when using --ttw)

     --async
	     Asynchronous mode, server may send back multiple waveforms per text
	     file

	     return waveform(s) stored in output or operated on by aucommand.

BUGS
     This  still  isn't as general as it should be.  It seems to require lots of
     special little options which suggests the general options aren't right.
