[[ ...arguments about SMUS and DMCS deleted...  ]]

     You're *both* right!  DMCS does indeed use SMUS as one of it's IFF
formats.  It also uses an IFF format that is proprietary to DMCS.  The
private format does a much better job than the SMUS format, IMO. 
Perhaps the author of DMCS just didn't bother to use the SMUS form to
its greatest advantage?  So what's the argument about, anyway?  :-) 

     BTW, did anybody ever figure out what the private sections of the
DMCS IFF did?  Is EA ever going to do anything with DMCS other than sit
on it?  If not, why don't they release the info to the world?  Why is
the sky green?  What place is this...?  :-)
