This program will convert an audio file in Macintosh format to SS1 uLAW
format.  The Mac format that this supports is one-byte-per-sample; each
sample is stored in excess-128 (128 is added to the sample value before
storing).  It also knows how to convert to a sample speed of 8192 samples
per second, which is what the SS1 uses.

This program should be easily adaptable to convert just about any format
to uLAW.  

To build:  save the source as sound2sun.c, and "cc -o sound2sun sound2sun.c"
Usage is:  sound2sun [-f frequency] infile outfile

Where frequency is the rate (in samples per second) of infile -- the
default is 11000.

Does anyone have a collection of sounds available via FTP or archive
server?  If not, maybe someone can start one?

Ed's Note: placed in archives, we can also archive sound files as part of
	   the sun-source archives if there is interest in this type of
	   thing.

	Directory: sun-source
	Filename : sound2sun.c
