[comp.sys.sun] How to convert Mac sounds to SPARC format?

Has anyone written a program to convert Mac format sounds to SPARC format?
They're both 8bit, but the SPARC uses some sort of ulaw encoding.  I
believe, however that the Mac 8bit bytes are unsigned and the Sun library
to convert linear PCM into u-law encoded takes signed bytes.  I've tried
both interpreting the Mac files as signed and unsigned before u-law
encoding them, but they still come out as mush...
