Well, this is a little info for those people who intend to try out this 
voice recognition system which has been so humorously name the:
		OMNITRON VOICE RECOGNITION SYSTEM
We thought it was humorous anyway....... :)


Now, the info....  The file I have posted is a compressed TAR file, in it
there are several files which are all needed.  These files include a Makefile
to assure proper compiling of the code.  I shall list the files that are included

	ovrs.c -> the actual code for the recognizer.
	dictionary.txt -> a dictionary file in which the information
			  is saved - this file is necessary to exist
			  to allow the program to run.
	help.txt -> a small text file that is displayed when help is asked
			for in the main menu

	Makefile -> pretty self explanitory, in other words put all the files
			in one directory and type 'make'

One other point is that there was no time for us to include recording and 
silence detection, so we used the AUDIOTOOL sound utility on our system,
any tool that has silence detection and is capable of saving in .au (ULAW)
format is fine.

Now the important info - the sound that you shall check or add, must be called
temp.rec and located in the same directory as the 'project' executable.

Also, the dictionary.txt file must be in the directory for the program to run.
If the dictionary.txt is not there you will get a segmentation fault.

Hmmm, I can't think of anything else right now - enjoy all.
