- As of this writing we have a version shipping which takes advantage of
- NeXTSTEP 3.0's Mac file system handling. It supports "flat" sound files
- such as those produced with MacRecorder and it also extracts 'snd'
- resources from any Mac file. It creates a separate NeXT .snd file for each
- 'snd' resource found in a given file. It will also work with MacBinary
- files directly downloaded from online services in both of the
- above-mentioned formats. It automatically determines the file type from
- its contents, regardless of extension.
-
- As far as I know we have the only package which handles all these formats
- (.aiff coming soon!), and the only product that reads the Mac resource
- fork under NeXTSTEP 3.0.
-
- It has been tested with System 6 and System 7 sounds files.
