The files at sumex are compressed mac files, and I have not seen an IBM program which will uncompress this particular compression technique. Therefore, those files require a Mac and Unstuffit, as well as a way to get the sounds from a Mac to an IBM. The files at terminator.cc.umich.edu were moved--they are now at msdos.archive.umich.edu. You can find some sounds already converted for use on IBM's for such programs as ReMac and Sounder, under the archive/msdos/sound directory. If anyone knows of an UnStuffit program for the IBM, would they please reply. Hope this is helpful. Kevin -- Kevin M.
