Bugs

       More than you can imagine.

       A manual with much detail (though not complete) is available in distributed as part of the system and  is
       also accessible at
       http://www.cstr.ed.ac.uk/projects/festival/manual/

       Although we cannot guarantee the time required to fix bugs, we would appreciated it if they were reported
       to
       festival-bug@cstr.ed.ac.uk
