	The new System Software has System 7.0's new Sound Manager in it, 
allowing not only the use of the sound capabilities of the IIsi and LC, but
other features such as sound file compression, and asynchronous playback (you
can play sounds while doing disk access), for example.
	As for whether or not it'll be on apple.com or ftp.apple.com, I
haven't the slightest.  Does there exist an Apple being out there who can
grant us a definitive answer?
