OK you Mac programmers out there, Hellllllppppp!!!!
Basically, I am writing a program which is full of sound (the program is
to be used by children, and so information will be given via spoken messages
rather than written ones. I had hoped to use Macintalk etc. but now that
I hear that that is not guaranteed to still be here in a few months time....),
Anyway, the question is
"How do I produce my bits of sound without that annoying click at the start
and end?"  If you string together lots of sounds and play them altogether
you only get a click right at the very end (if you do it all in advance
that is).  Sound experts please help.  My idea is to use sound effects as
well as spoken words, put together in the sequences that I need in order
to convey my messages.  Anyone with hints tips etc (preferably in Pascal)
on how to do the above would receive my utmost gratitude.

I shall shortly put together a little piece on how I did my animation (dragging
a non-rectangular PICT over a complex background) as soon as I'm happy with
it.  To everyone on the net who helped me with that one - "ThankYou!"
