Yes, there are standards.  Enough to shake a stick at.  In the area of
resources, probably the best way to store them is the snd resource format
for HyperCard.  There are several stacks which allow SoundCap and SoundWave
files (files of digitized sound -- not resources -- created by two of the
more popular sound digitization programs) to be converted into HyperCard snd
resources.

>What is the best way to capture sounds for a program?

I like the Impulse digitizer (which comes with the SoundWave software);
there are, however, much cheaper kits (put out by BMUG?) which you could
probably put together.  I believe SoundWave can be purchased seperately from
Impulse.

                        Q:      How many IBM CPU's does it take to execute a
                                job?
                        A:      Four; three to hold it down, and one to rip
                                its head off.
