I am learning C programming on the Amiga, and I want an excersize There's a shareware program out for PC's that lets you edit/play Amiga MOD files (its called ScreamTracker). There's a utility in it that converts .VOC files into Amiga samples. The technical docs say that .VOC files have a 32-byte header followed by 8-bit UNSIGNED sample data (this is only for non-packed .VOC files). It also mentions that Amiga samples (IFF?) are stored as 8-bit SIGNED data. The conversion should be as simple as adding (or subtracting) 128 from the sample values. ScreamTracker should be available on most PC BBS that have SoundBlaster coverage. It's got some good documentation on the .MOD format as well. I hope this helps... -- --- David E.
