Covox Speech Thing Driver for Windows 3.1 and Multimedia Windows
----------------------------------------------------------------

STHING.DRV is a Windows WAVE driver. It requires either:
  1) Windows 3.1 or
  2) Windows 3.0 with Multimedia Extensions.

Notes:
  This driver uses a printer port to play sounds. If a sound is
  playing, the printer port will be unavailable until the sound has
  finished playing. If the Print Manager (or some other application)
  is using the port, the driver will NOT play the sound.

  Like the internal speaker driver, the Speech Thing driver plays
  exclusively, so Windows will not run programs or respond to the
  user while sounds are playing. Unlike the internal speaker, the
  Speech Thing sounds much better.
