Jef Pozkanzer's original saytime
program announces the system time on
/dev/audio
using the english text snippets found in
/usr/lib/saytime/sounds/
.
It is now accompanied by a mongolized version called xedencag
,
using sound snippets located in /usr/lib/saytime/duu/
.
xedencag
is essentially the same program as saytime
stripped
by the routines for decimals between 11 and 19. Unlike their
english counterparts these are formed as regular as the other
n-ty plus n entities in Mongolian.
The original sources are kept in the directory, and an additional
copyright note was placed in the beginning of xedencag.c
.
A shell version of the program is not provided, I consider using
perl
for this purpose; then xedencag
will become available
for non-Unixish platforms, too.
