I was speaking of sound period.... Speech and/or alerts.  I'm going to play 
around with NAS and see what happens.  Nothing like being in "uncharted 
territory" ;)

hmmm well I didn't see any problems when I installed ImageMagick but when I 
tried "display" followed by a PNG filename I dug up I got an error

"bash: display: command not found"

Guess that would be where the issue is... not to figure out what went wrong.

I guess enough of it installed for Xastir to realize it was there when I 
recompiled but something isn't quite right.
