+.SH NAME 
+.PP
+\fBspeak.conf\fP - configuration file for text-to-speech services.
+.PP 
+.SH SYNOPSIS 
+.PP 
+\fBspeak.conf\fP
+.PP 
+.SH DESCRIPTION 
+.PP
+The \fBspeak.conf\fP file is a text edit-able configuration file used by the
+text-to-speech server and various text-to-speech utilities.  
+.PP
+\fBspeak.conf\fP is divided into sections, donated with "[]"'s.  These
+sections include hardware parameters for the text-to-speech server used on the
+local machine, translation tables used for phonetic dictionaries by text-to-
+speech servers, and runtime default information for specific programs.  On
+machines that do not run their own text-to-speech server, \fBspeak.conf\fP
+will still be used to specify runtime defaults for utility programs that are
+present.
+.PP
+.SH FILE FORMAT
+.PP
+The file consists of sections and parameters.  A section begins with the 
+name of the section in square brackets and continues until the next section
+begins.  Sections contain parameters of the form \'name = value`'.
+.PP
+The file is line-based text - that is, each newline-terminated line 
+represents either a comment, a section name, or a parameter.  Parameters
+in the .conf file normally do not appear on multiple lines, except for 
+several specific exceptions (lists and tables) that are not used in this 
+package. 
+.PP
+Section and parameter names are not case sensitive.
+.PP
+Only the first equal sign in a parameter is significant.  Whitepsaces before
+or after the = are ignored.  Leading and trailing whitespaces are ignored.
+Whitepaces within a parameter name are also ignored, while whitespaces 
+within a parameter value are preserved.
+.PP
+Any line beginning with a semicolon or a pound sign is treated as a comment
+and is ignored.
+.PP
+Any line containing a list, in the form 'name = { v1 v2 v3 }' may be 
+continued over multiple lines if the terminating '}' is not found in the
+current line.
+.PP
+Any line beginning with a plus is considered a repeat of the "name =" portion
+of the last parameter line.  This is often used to build up hostname lists
+when multiple hostnames may be specified.
+.PP
+The parameter value may either be quoted or unquoted.  Quoted parameters 
+values may be used to specify lead or trailing spaces which would otherwise
+be ignored.  Either matching single or double quotes may be used, and the
+quotes are not kept as part of the value returned to the application.
+.PP
+Parameter values may either be strings, numeric values, or boolean flags.
+When a boolean parameter is used, the characters "T" for 'true' and "F" for
+'false' may be used.  The full word, "true" and "false", may also be
+spelled out.  "Y" or "Yes" and "N" or "No" may also be used for "true" or
+"false".
