I received an answer to my question about the 'snd ' resources used
in HyperCard from Byron Han, of Apple Computer. Herewith is his reply to my
question (he requested that I post it for him):
-----------
there are currently two types of "snd " resources. type 1 is the kind that
will play in the sound CDEV in the control panel.
type 2 is the Bill Atkinson version which will only play in Hypercard
and/or the MiniServant.

------------
My next question is: is there any way to play the type 2 'snd ' resource?
The "Sound Off II" INIT file has no problem playing either type, so
it must be possible.... Also, how does the Sound CDEV set the system beep
to be a given 'snd ' resource?
