a public apology and requested all copies of filhst10.zip be deleted.

sbvoice.zip	Ethan Brodsky's SBvoice unit - SB, VOC (pascal)

Removed by the request of the author. This is an old version (1992) of
sbvox (1994), but people were still downloading it more often than the
preferred version. Guess I'll have to rewrite the sbvox description..
