re: sounds.  Apple had (probably still does) a document on disk called

Audio Interchange File Format: "AIFF"
A Standard for Sampled Sound Files
Version 1.2
Apple Computer, Inc.

The Audio Interchange File Format (Audio IFF) provides a standard for storing
sampled sounds.  The format is quite flexible, allowing for the storage of
monaural or multichannel sampled sounds at a variety of sample rates and
sample widths.
..
Audio IFF conforms to the "EA IFF 85"  Standard for Interchange Format Files
developed by Electronic Arts.
..
All data is stored in Motorola 68000 format.  Data is organized as follows:
..
On an operating system that uses file extensions, such as MS-DOS or UNIX,
it is recommended that Audio IFF file names have a ".AIF" extension.
..
So...one would assume that the Audio IFF is not for the IIGS, as the IIGS
was not mentioned in the documentation?  I do know that the mac recorder
(sorry murph) does have the IFF format.  Also Apple may have a newer version
of the docs.
