I do not know what format Perfect Sound uses.  I believe Sonix can read
8SVX in addition to its own Sonix format.  The IFF disk contains a
Read8SVX example which reads 8SVX - not what you want.  There is also
an InstIFF program on one of the Fish disks which converts old Amiga
workbench demo sound samples to 8SVX - again not what you want unless
Perfect Sound happens to somehow use the old workbench demo sound format.

I suggest calling the company that produces Perfect Sound - they should
know about utilities to convert their sound files.
