-
- Files of this type and auxiliary type contain sound resources.
- _____________________________________________________________________________
-
- Files of this type and auxiliary type contain one or more named sound
- resources. The format for sound resources (type $8024, rSoundSample) is
- documented in Apple IIgs Technical Note #76, Miscellaneous Resource Formats.
-
- These files are convenient containers for files that contain sound resources,
- since sound resources are invisible to users who don't have resource editors
- or resource development tools. Since they are containers, Apple recommends
- that each sound resource file's name accurately reflect the contents of the
- file. If the file name implies a specific sound, that sound resource file
- should contain only that sound. If the file contains a family of sounds, such
- as one person pronouncing several phrases, the file name should clearly
- indicate the sound family is present.
-
- Remember that users will, for the most part, only be able to move sounds by
- file and not by individual resources. If you have a file named "Kitten" that
- has two sound resources--a kitten mewing and a puppy barking--users will most
- likely be confused if they remove the "Kitten" file and the "Puppy" sound goes
- away also.
-
- The Sound Control Panel in Apple IIgs System Software 6.0 and later
- (admittedly, one of the primary users of sound resources) will use sound
- resources in files of any type and auxiliary type, but we recommend this file
- type and auxiliary type for files that contain only sound resources.
