If someone would like to mail it to me, I will be happy to post it to comp.binaries.mac. And, in a manner typical of the robber barons who made America What It Is Today, the first person to e-mail it to me will be e-mailed a reasonably-sized SIT file of digitized sounds *NEVER* *BEFORE* heard on a Macintosh by anyone by myself -- in other words, stuff from my 180 Meg sound vault of junk I've digitized. Give me some preferences to what you want (e.g. Movie quotes, TV show themes, sound effects, Looney Tunes Characters -- be specific. I have some particularly nice sound bites from THE FORBIN PROJECT that I recorded some time ago, that I've never released anywhere else.) Boy, I feel just like Ed McMahon...

Well, I've just been informed that the 3.0 on CompuServe is actually 1.2 in a mis-named SIT file. So, void void void! Some good news: I remember reading in an old MacWeek that Preferred Publishers would be coming out soon with a set of user-interface modification cdevs, and that one of them would have the ability to play sounds at certain system events. It would also skip storing the sounds in memory, and read them from the disk. So there is hope... "I'm not against women.

I should mention that the "SoundMaster 3.0" mentioned by Chuq has been pulled from the CompuServe libraries pending a clarification from the author. It seems several people complained that, despite the name change, it was to all appearances another copy of 2.1 (the about box version hadn't changed and no new functionality was in evidence). Although no one in the MacFun forum mentioned the possibility, it seems to me that this might have been an attempt to plant a "Trojan Horse". I'll follow-up on this when I hear more.

When I broached the subject with one of the sysops, he assured me that the erroneous "3.0" upload was not a Trojan Horse.
