Didn't notice any other replies to this. Might be a problem flushing the
buffers from tail. Other threads suggest using an awk flush between to
help. So something like
tail -f source.txt | awk '{...; fflush()}' | say
Worth a try.

Hi list:
I am playing around with DOS in a virtual machine under VMWare Fusion.
I would like to run a DOS screen reader through a serial port.
I can add a serial port in Fusion and it outputs to a file. However, I then
have to go into terminal and read the file to see what's in there.
I tried using the tail command, piping it to say like:
tail -f serial.file | say
This didn't work, I suppose, because say was not going to speak without an
end-of-file.
Any other ideas about how I can do this?
Thanks!
