2018.0. "IFF Sound" by NITMOI::WITHERS (conjugate the verb to go...) Mon Dec 19 1988 14:59

    Hello all.
    
    I was wondering if anyone could point me to:
    
    	A) A good bell sound for the VT220 emulator.
    
    	B) A good program that reads and reproduces IFF sound files
    that includes source.  I am working on a game and have access to
    a sound digitizer but need a good source example of reading and
    reproducing an IFF sound file.
    
    Thanks,
    George

    the c include files for iff on the iff disk fish 64 gives the iff
    sound format.  
    when you say a good vt220 bell, do you mean a good bell, or the
    little pathetic beep that 220's make?  I could make either one for
    you.

2018.2A church bell would be nice .. :-)GRYHWK::WITHERSEven a miracle needs a hand..Mon Dec 19 1988 18:257
    I think an actual bell would be a little more fun than the pathetic
    beep.  Thanks alot.  A friend of mine knows someone with a sound
    digitizer but its not direct and I just wanted a beep sound that
    sounded good.
    
    Thanks,

I'd like a copy of a nice bell sound also. While you're at it, could you explain
how to incorporate the new sound in Smokey?

     I'm afraind this is a RTFM (Read The Friendly Manual).
     As I recall, Smokey looks for BELL.SND or BELL.SOUND in the
     S/ directory.  By the way, you don't have to use a "bell".
     If you have the PD asteroids game, for example, its easy to 
     copy over one of the explosion or the-flying-saucer-is-coming sounds
     to s/bell.whatever_the_extension_is.
