Beware!  Though Langmaker is cool and easy to use, its facilities for
making sound changes are very crude.  For example, if you want to say,
"vowels become long before voiced consonants," for some crazy reason,
you'd have to write a separate rule for every possible combination of
vowel and long consonant.

Well i was thinking about it. No more =). After i wrote that email, i was
playing around with the program and was thinking that there's no way i
could control the way the sound shifts go. It cant do for instance:
"change it so that all final d's become t's". It would change all d's to
t's.  Also i have so many words right now that it would take me forever
and a day to hand pick the ones that need changes.

Ah well,  doing it by hand isnt hard anyway.
