That code did work, Thanks!

Yet another problem..

It tried saying the time for 5:09 and all it got was "five o"

the error it generated was:

./B10tts: let: 09: value too great for base (error token is "09")
./B10tts: let: 09: value too great for base (error token is "09")
/dev/empeg_state: Device or resource busy
cat: /drive0/var/tts/09.pcm: No such file or directory

just a little FYI for myself, whats it trying to do and what goes wrong when it says: /dev/empeg_state: Device or resource busy ?
