n2a converts NeXT sound files into 8SVX IFF files. NeXT sound
files come in many different flavors; n2a groks only the
LINEAR_16 format, which is the one that most PD sound files seem
to be using. NeXT recording applications use the MULAW_8 format.
You can convert from this format to LINEAR_16 with the sndconvert
application on the NeXT. You can tell whether a sound file can
be processed by n2a using the command:
od -b file | head -1
If the last number is 003, then the file is in LINEAR_16 format.
The program compiles both on the NeXT and the Amiga. I have pro-
vided an Amiga executable, but I would recommend running the pro-
gram on the NeXT, because the resulting 8SVX file is half the
size of the NeXT file.
This program is released to the public domain.
