0. Introduction:

SPeech HEader REsources (SPHERE) is a set of library functions and
command-level programs which can be used to read and modify
NIST-formatted speech waveform files.  The documentation for SPHERE
is located in the file, 'doc/sphere.doc'.  The SPHERE directory
hierarchy is organized as follows:

	bin                  - final destination of command line 
                               executables and UNIX shell scripts
	doc                  - SPHERE documentation
	doc/man/man1         - UNIX style manual pages for command
                               line executables
	doc/man/man3         - SPHERE function library UNIX style
                               manual pages 
	doc/man/man5         - SPHERE file formats
	include              - SPHERE include files
	include/sp           - SPHERE library include files
	include/shorten      - SHORTEN library include files
