  For all you IBM-types out there, there is a program that should play
the type of file Mark has sampled on your IBM or compatable.  The
program is called remac and is available at all the more popular ibm
ftp sites (ie.  SIMTEL, wuarchive.wustl.edu
(/mirror/msdos/voice/remac.zip), grape, etc.)  It is truly an
excellent program for those who have grown tired of the simple sounds
typically heard through the typical IBM/clone speaker.

  It is small ( <10K including doc file) and easy to use.  It should
support any file commonly found with a .snd extention (for a selection
of these files, check terminator.ee.umich.edu in the atari/sound or
ibm/sound directory).  There is also a large selection of these files
at sumex-aim.stanford.edu, but they are in the condition Mark
describes above(stuff-ited, binhexed) and can be a bit difficult to
undo without a mac by your side and a way to transfer files between
your IBM and mac.  Therefore, Mark, if you would simply uuencode it
and mail it out, it might make many, many IBM using KaTe fans happy.

  BTW, I have the facility to digitize sound on my IBM via an add-in
board.  With a little manipulation, I should be able to get my samples
to .snd format and (hopefully) make them available.  That is another
story altogether.  It's kinda fun to have KaTe's laugh (from LaA/tF)
go off when my fingers type 'idr' instead of 'dir' as my fingers are
sometimes prone to do. 8-)

 TTFN,
