	I'd don't have a copy (and if I did I wouldn't say so as it's
still officially Apple's ;-) I have however seen it when I've been in
EuroPARC. It's not a collection os snd's but a system file that works in
conjuction with the finder.

	They are mostly organic sounds that Bill has sampled and added
into the user interface. I didn't get that good a look on my visit
though as I was only there for a short while.

	I dunno. I'll ask Bill if I see him on my next visit to
Cambridge.
