[comp.sys.mac.system] How do I create a suitcase?

silvus@vauxhall.ece.cmu.edu (Gregory Lee Silvus) (05/24/91)

The subject says it all. The way I create font suitcases is to
copy an old one, throw away everything inside, then put the new
stuff inside. How can I create a _sound_ suitcase from scratch?
I don't think I have any to copy and follow the above procedure
with, because every time I double click one, the SoundMover program
opens.

Soooooooooooooooooo, is there a way to create suitcases from
scratch?

Send me e-mail if this is a lame question,
post if other are as clueless as I.

Thanks,
gReg

Is the desire for suitcases for organization? When I drag fonts out of the
system they turn into documents. I assume sound resources would behave
similarly. However each one is a separate document (actually I think
there's both a bit map and truetype document for each font) so standard
folders will keep them organized.

Just trying to understand the need for suitcases.
