Dear Codon,

  Just now got around to installing the AGTK 0.98 from SourceForge on my
Windows98.  It installed fine and ran fine, although sound playback was
sometimes jerky.  I noticed that the sound became uncoupled from the
transcript, particularly in Demo 2, probably because my machine was weak.
Are Demo 1 and 2 primarily intended to demonstrate sound playback from a
Transcriber-like interface.  If so, they seem fine, except for the
jerkiness.
  The annotation tool also seemed to work fine, although I couldn't figure
out how to play any sound to annotate, but it was easy enough to enter
codes.  I poked around in the docs and libraries a bit.  After reading the
details of the Unix installation, I realized how nice it was to have a
Windows installation that just ran itself.
 I guess what I would love to see next is a player for CHAT files or perhaps
some LDC data set and maybe to better understand the shape of the
distribution in terms of what is where for both data and programmer's
resources.  I wonder if you need any other type of feedback on this now.
