[hts-users:00167] Re: HTS demo perl script on Cygwin

["Nicholas Volk" <nvolk@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

It is possible to use HTS in Cygwin in general.
There are however some Windows-related problems with
large databases. We have build some HTS voices on a windows
machine, but we haven't tried AWB's.

If I guess correctly, your script crashed when the system's total
memory requirements exceeded the magical 2GB barrier.
(In some professional versions of Windows, the max memory size
may be greater.)

regards,
  Nicholas
