That's really great news. Now could you store the files in some format
other than tar! It's really a pain extracting them. Is there a tar
extractor(even the "x" function of tar seems to be giving me problems)
native to the GS?

The other issue is the question of standards. They seem to be multiplying
in both the graphics and sound areas. Does anyone have a simply conversion
program to deal with these. For example, SoundSmith does not seem to use
the Apple sound format, as found in synthLab or even AIFF(which the Audio
Animator calls Apple's sound format- the AA can store sounds in that format
and HyperStudio will recognize them, but SoundSmith is off in another
direction!

Finally, are there any "less modern" pieces for SoundSmith. While the
program is very nice, the music is a bit wierd to these old ears!
