  Could anyone tell me about generating 3-D audio, or recommend some
 references?

  I'm particularly curious about how the brain knows if a sound is coming from
 straigh ahead or from the rear.

  It would be fun to experiment with this on some cheap hardware (Apple IIGS),
 for example make a game where the interface is only audio - you run around
 chasing something that sends out a sound, for example.

    Virtually yours,

      Erland
