The Atari uses the same sample data format as the Mac, so if there's
a way to convert Sparcstation samples to Mac format, you can use
them (the data forks) on the Atari as well.

Could some kind Mac wizard point me to a Sparc->Mac sample converter?
Given source for such a utility I could write an ST version and make
many Atari owners happy.  (Or at least happier.)

Thanks,
