SPEECH added to MLC

Hi,

I have added the SPEECH to MLC and the PreCompiler (so the "16 bytes in fast ram" problem is solved).

Just a little video, I modified the SCROLL program to make it talk. You can see that MLC has enough power to manage 3 sprites, build a scroll from the character definitions and talk at the same time.

With the PreCompiler, to use a standard word from the SPEECH ROM, you just have to type this:

SAY &wHELLO

As the precompiler has a database with the standard words, it will turn this to

SAY &H351A

That is the rom address of this word.

If you want to make it say a whole sentence, here is the minimal program:

	startdata			   ; define a table with the words addresses
		words &wI &wAM &wTHE
		words &wTEXAS_INSTRUMENTS &wHOME &wCOMPUTER
	enddata A
	FOR I 0 5
		GETTABLE A(I) W	 ; get address of next word
		SAY W			   ; say word
		REPEAT
			TALKING?		; wait while computer is talking
		UNTIL<>
	NEXT					; go to next word

You can still define your own words with the byte definitions using SAYUSER. Here is the one taken from the E/A manual:

	startdata	 ; defines a table with the byte definitions
	word 118		 ; first word is the number of bytes
	bytes 166,209,198,37,104,82,151
	bytes 206,91,138,224,232,116,186
	bytes 18,85,130,204,247,169,124,180
	bytes 116,239,185,183,184,197,45,20,32,131
	bytes 7,7,90,29,179,6,60,206,91,77
	bytes 136,166,108,126,167,181,81,155,177,233
	bytes 230,0,4,170,236,1,11,0,170,100
	bytes 53,247,66,175,185,104,185,26,150,25
	bytes 208,101,228,106,86,121,192,234,147,57
	bytes 95,83,228,141,111,118,139,83,151,106
	bytes 102,156,181,251,216,167,58,135,185,84
	bytes 49,209,106,4,0,6,200,54,194,0
	bytes 59,176,192,3,0,0
	enddata A	 ; A will be the name of the bloc
	sayuser A,1	 ; say words, 1=from CPU RAM

Last, you can SAY a user definition located in VDP RAM (for example your string$) using
