[comp.sys.mac] snd->sound, GIF format

mp1w+@andrew.cmu.edu (Marc Russell Pawliger) (09/08/88)

Two unrelated questions:

1) Do utilities exist to change a snd resource to the older 'sound' format?
Specifically, I would like to able to use snd resources with the Sound Master
cdev.  I remember reading somewhere long ago that it may be as simple as
changing the header and resource name, but I'd like to be sure.

2) Is there a document outlining the format of GIF files?  I've been out of the
mac scene for awhile, so I don't know if such a thing has circulated before.

Please MAIL all replies back to me, since I'm afraid I don't have the time to
read all of comp.sys.mac.

Thanks!

Thanks to all for the fast replies to my questions about sound files
and GIF files.

Now, the answers:

1) The application 'Sound Leech' (available from SUMEX-AIM's INFO-MAC
   directory), can convert from snd resources to SoundCap format
   files.  Numerous utilities to convert the other way exist, too.

2) The format of a GIF file was posted to comp.graphics.misc.  I now
   have a copy of it, if anyone would like it.\

Thanks again,

Marc Pawliger
