- The sound is in the %-fork. It's in .sou format (or at least
- that's what the sound editor I last used on them, Wired for Sound, called
- them)--generally, "raw data." There will be a "click" at the beginning
- of the sound--and maybe at the end--due to all of the headers,
- non-resource stuff, etc. Edit those out, or cut-and-paste the good part
- into a new file, save as a more common format (like .wav) and enjoy.
- You will probably have to adjust the speed of playback. I've
- noticed that Mac sounds are often slightly off-speed on a PC. Don't
- remember the numbers, but I seem to remember that 11k/sec sounds are
- really 11050/sec on the PC, but something else on the Mac, or something
- like that. I'm sure someone out here knows more about this.
