  21. What?  Let me tell you something:
  22.         programming != data
  23. That (up above) is data, just like an iff picture or a mod or a spreadsheet.
  24. This piece of data just happens to be a sample.  It is not programming!
  25. The fact is, no matter how you put your values into the sound chip, they have
  26. to come from somewhere.  This 'somewhere' is your magical sample.  Doesn't
  27. matter what it is, it's a sample just the same.
