to include as many languages as possible (see below how to add languages
if you are interested).

Do you know another language? Do you want to be famous and go down in history
as having added that language to this program? Here's how to do it for language
'Newlanguage':
0. Now really, are you fluent? Please don't try to remember high school
language class - I don't want to be flooded with flames from
native speakers telling me the program is wrong :-)
1. Make a file newlanguage.c by copying a similar language file.
2. Write the routine 'Time2WordNewlanguage' (you will probably need to
also write 'Number2WordNewlanguage' to do this).
Don't forget to do the right things for approximate and before flags.
3. Search for "ADDLANG" in Makefile/ticktalk.h/ticktalk.c and follow the
comments that follow that string.
4. If your code needs a special flag, search for "ADDFLAG" in
Makefile/ticktalk.h/ticktalk.c and follow the directions.
5. Use 'make testtalk' to test your code.
% make testtalk
% testtalk -language newlanguage hour min
will allow you to test individual times
% testtalk -language newlanguage
will print all possible times to stdout. Redirect to a file or pipe
to more to verify everything looks ok. Don't forget to test with
the -before and -approximate flags!
6. Send me newlanguage.c and I will integrate your changes into the latest
version and send out an update.
Please also indicate your fluency: native,lived there,other
My email address is art@midnight.com (617/890-1001)
*PLEASE DON'T SEND DIFFS!* I am not archiving old versions so what you
diff against and what I have may not be the same.
If anyone knows how to easily add languages that use different character
sets, please let me know (or better yet, add one and send me the code).
