It has be done! Ever since I got my SoundBlaster I've been trying
to convert u-law to 8bit samples. Finnaly some one has figured it out.
at ab20.larc.nasa.gov in /pub there is a program ulaw2iff.tar.Z 
written for the Sun SARC, that will convert u-law to Amiga sounds.
Then you can use DP25 to convert the Amiga to PC sound. I'v tested it
and it works. The samples come out at a sample speed of 8129. Kind of
a strange number, but you have to remember that it has been converted
from a really strange format to a strange format to a normal format. So 
crazy is expected.

I tried to post a message similar to this one last night, but I think
I sent it to c.b.i.p instead of !!.d, sorry. Please don't flame, I don't
need that kind of preasure, what with finals and all.
