- SUN2VOC Version 1.0 -- Kevin S. Bachus -- September 14, 1991.
-
- SUN2VOC is a quick utility I pieced together based on a few uLaw to raw 8-bit
- sample-conversion routines floating around the Internet, and my own
- observations of the Sound Blaster .VOC format. With this program, you can take
- any of the many audio files digitized on the Sun family of minicomputers and
- workstations, and play them, without any additional modifications, on any PC
- equipped with a Sound Blaster sound card.
-
- Operation of the program is simple. Simply enter "SUN2VOC filename" where
- <filename> is the name of the Sun audio (.au) file to be processed. The
- extension is optional; if you do not enter one, SUN2VOC assumes .AU to be the
- source extension. SUN2VOC will then create a destination file using the same
- file name as the source, but with a .VOC extension. You can then use any VOC
- player (Creative Labs' VPLAY or Gary Maddox's excellent BLASTER MASTER package,
- for example) to hear the sound. I've tried to optimize the conversion routines
- for both speed and size. The conversion should be quite fast on all but the
- largest of files.
-
- I regret that I am unable to acknowledge the authors of the original routines I
- based this program on; none bothered to identify themselves in their code.
