                     Dave's Raw Sound to .snd with RIFF
                       WAVEfmt Header Killer Built In

First of all:

-Thanks to Kennneth Udut for all the informationon .snd files!!!
 Thanks very much, dude!!!

Well the computer program pretty much is self explanatory.

-It will ask you for the input file (the file that is not the .snd file).

-It will ask you for the output file name (.snd filename and you must
 include the extension). 
 
-Filenames should be kept to the same standards found in DOS 
 (8 characters + . + 3 character extension). If you do not
 an error will occur. There are no provisions within in the code
 to check validity of entered filenames.

-It will then ask you for the name you would like to be placed in the
 .snd files name area. This is for naming purposes within Deskmate
 for the Name: area on the screen.

-It automatically selects sample rate for RIFF files, if in stereo the wav
 sample rate is doubled automatically so that the sound will sound "normal".
 Headers are stripped off depending on what version of Deskmate you
 have and how you load the sample. The newer versions don't exactly
 understand the old format, they will load it ,but only with the header
 attached.

-Maybe sometime I will get around to writing a wav interpreter which
 will automatically seperate a stereo wave sample into two channels or
 either mathematically average the two samples into one.

-I CAN NOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGES INCURRED BY THIS SOFTWARE.
 IT WORKS FINE ON MY MACHINE, BUT YOUR MACHINE IS NOT MY MACHINE. HOWEVER

-Oh, and one more thing. This software is free, please do not charge anything
 for it. It's provided for frustrated Tandy digital sound owners out there.
 Since it is free, the code within can be modified by anyone, however if
 someone decides to make the program computer-unfriendly, and someone
 else suffers from this action, that someone else can perform whatever
 acts on the someone, but I can take no responsibility and cannot be held
 responsible.

-If you own a turbocharged car, email me (don't worry about U.S. Mail in
 this case).

-Have fun!!!

-Comments welcomed to either address mentioned above.
