Has anyone tried to convert sound files that play on the Mactoy to
play on the NeXT? I can't (easily) find documentation of how those
files are formatted on the Mac but I know that direct transfer doesn't
work. I've also tried "sndconvert -r filename" but get noise. This may
be due to my failure to know for sure how to generate raw data from the
Mac. A friend suggests that the problem stems from the Mac using 8 bit
while the Next uses 16 bit formatting.
I'm posting this because I suspect that someone out there has
already gone through this exercise. We have a lot of Mac sound
files and not nearly as many NeXT sound files. You can either post
answers (if you don't already get fed up looking through hundreds of
entries) or e-mail and I will post summary at some future date.
Also, has anyone had trouble getting the .logout file to play after
executing "dwrite loginwindow LogoutHook .logout"? This method works
for .login (LoginHook). Anybody know what to dwrite to run extra files
with things like floppy disk ejection?
Thanks, in advance, to all responses.
