Jessica suggested that I contact you. Did you ever get sphinx2-demo or sphinx2-test or sphinx2-simple to work on your Cygwin/Windows machine? If not, what can I do to help you to get this working? I can certainly post to the CMUSphinx sourceforge forum if you'd like. Also, did you get a chance to rebuild the LM again? (Unfortunately, I forgot the exact issue involved with this.) If you got a new job which is eating up all your time or you just don't have time to work on Sphinx-related stuff, please tell us. Thanks! P.S. I'm working on the timealign stuff and am making progress slowly. I think, however, that a spiffy, new LM will get more bang-for-the-buck at this point.
