I did look into that. I wasn't familiar with it myself and as far as I could
tell it wasn't capable of parsing straight
text. Is that correct? If not I'm sure something could be done to convert
text to the commands which it understands.
A good project for the future and I could offer a choice of the two. I'd
also considered offering a choice of graphics -
maybe Sue Lawley alongside the digitised Jeremy Paxman.

I'm glad you've tried it out!
