[comp.sys.mac.misc] Adding Stripped headers back onto Mac files?

sm196103@seas.gwu.edu (Scott Cherkofsky) (02/02/91)

I was wondering if there is any way to add the header back onto a file
that has lost it.  The reason it was stripped in the first place was to
convert it (a sound resource) to an IBM readable format.

What I am looking for is a program to add a generic header to a file
that says Hey, I am a sound for Soundedit 2.0 to any program that wants
to open it.

I have these sounds in snd format which means that the header has been 
stripped, Soundmover won't recognize the data contained in the file,
and although I can see the data using Canopener it thinks that it is 
text although it was downloaded as a Binary file, using the Binary
file transfer conversion in Zterm.

HELP!

Thanx a bunch to those that have already tried to help, if any of you
have further ideas, I would appreciate them.

P.S.  Sound --> Snd is something that I used, and works fine except that it
is buggy and not too reliable at saving the sounds.  It is made by the same
person that makes SoundMover but he did not upgrade Sound --> snd, just
Soundmover.
