Since I've seen no mention of converting Macintosh sound files for use on the NeXT (and vice versa), I've written a couple crude routines to do such. One takes a headerless Macintosh wave data file and convert it to a format that 'sndconvert' will accept in raw mode (-r) and the other takes a NeXT *.snd file and dumps a Macintosh-compatible wave data file (useful for using the NeXT Microphone to add sound to your Hypercard stack, or whatever). Both programs assume some familiarity with sound applications on the Macintosh to get your files into the necessary formats and both are somewhat limited by the lack of useful conversions that 'sndconvert' is able to perform. I've FTP'd the source, binary, script and README files (in compressed tar format) to the submissions directory on the cs.orst.edu NeXT archive under the name 'macsnd'. These are only meant to be temporary until something more powerful/useful comes along. - Christopher
