   This is an experimental, generalized Middle English accent.  It
represents English as pronounced before the "Great Vowel Shift" with
trilled Rs and guttural gh sound.  It is based on the brief description of
Middle English in "A History of the English Language" by Albert C. Baugh.
This accent has been optimized with Narrator 37.7 and requires
Translator43.

   A sample Middle English text, a fragment of Chaucer's Troilus and
Criseyde, is included.  "3" represents the Middle English character "yogh".

   Installation
