I have been downloading and trying to convert some sounds from an IBM
format (.snd) to a soundedit format.

The first problem is that downloading in Binary form leaves a file with no
header, therefore I cannot get ANY program (soundedit, Canopener) to 
recognize the file.

The only program that I have found to do this is Sound --> snd convert but
I have an early version and it is very buggy on my SE/30 running 6.0.7

The program will recognize the files only sometimes, then it MIGHT convert the
sound or it might not, then it will nolonger recognise any more files.  I
have to quit out and go back in to get it to work again.  By no means is this
desireable so I thought I would ask y'all for some info.

I am looking for a way to convert (either by application or by resedit) the
.snd IBM Binary files to soundedit files/resources.

Thanx for any help.

Scott.

P.S.  some of these sounds are Dr. Who sounds, so those of you who have
asked, I will send them out as soon as I have converted them - if that ever
happens.
