Please be aware that there are two different kinds of 'snd ' resources for
the Mac.  Type 1 is used for the beeps you select from the Sound cdev, and
the program "Sound->Snd", posted recently, converts from SoundCap data
files to 'snd ' 1 resources.  Type 2 is used for the instruments you play
from HyperCard, and the stack "SoundCapMover" converts from SoundCap data
files to 'snd ' 2 resources.  Right now there is no way to use a type 2
resource as a system beep, or a type 1 resource as a HyperCard
instrument.  Both of these 'snd ' formats are distinct from the 'ASND'
resource that some programs use and that SuperPlay, for instance, can
create.

A recent posting also said that there was a command to convert a SoundCap
file to a 'snd ' resource built into HyperCard.  The poster must have
seen the "SoundCapMover" stack, looked at the script, and not been able
to find the "SoundCapToRes" command.  Such commands can be built into the
stack as resources, and they won't show up with anything except ResEdit.
That's the case with the "SoundCapToRes" command, so don't expect to be
able to use it without the "SoundCapMover" stack, and don't expect it to
make SoundCap files into beep sounds; you need "Sound->Snd" for that.
