As I understand it, .au files are 8 bit audio files that are designed 
to work in a UNIX environment. Look for an AU->.WAV utility in the sound 
utility DIR of yer favorite FTP site.

look for goldwave for windoze,.. it's shareware, and I think you can
probably find it on ftp.cica.indiana.edu.  The filename is gldwav10.zip.

Another Windows .au player is Joe's Player v1.0 also on cica.  I believe the
filename is jp100.zip.

	You can also use PLANY.EXE to play almost all sound file formats.
You can get a copy of this program at your local Simtel/Garbo FTP site
in the sound directory, with the filename PLANY12.ZIP..

Hope this helps..

I think I got if from either wuarchieve.wustl.edu or ftp.uwp.edu. 
You'll have to hunt around a little bit, but its usually in something
like \pub\msdos\games\id\home-brew or something to that effect...

Do any of these shareware sound players play .rol files on an SBPro?

PLANY can be used to play .au files... as a matter of fact, DMAUD
_is_ PLANY, with some changes to the I/O.

To convert .au files to something else, try SOX (yes, some of the
code from SOX became PLANY...)


wuarchive.wustl.edu:/mirrors/msdos/sounds/plany12.zip ...hmm, maybe
you should try oak.oakland.edu instead...

ftp.cwi.nl:/pub/audio/sox10dos.zip


Version 1.0 of DMAUD (soon...) will output in .wav format, and allow
sounds of unlimited length, so I guess you could use DMAUD to
convert .au -> .wav

Nate,
do a search on archie for "sox".  I'm not sure what rev it's up to, but
it can convert almost any sound file (including *.au) to almost any type
of sound file (*.wav, *.mod, *.vox, etc)

Enjoy
