re: Apple II Sound

[BRIAN.HAMMACK@rook.wa.com (brian hammack)]

 Phil Lamb made the whip sing this tune:

  | "What if Apple II _user groups_ sponsored the project? With say,
  | only 10 sponsorships of $100 I could spend weeks writing and
  | writing, to make IISound
  | the best piece of II software ever created! World domination but a
  | step away!"

It's been my experience with a couple user groups and softmagazine that
people are interested but the farthest they get is redistributing old
software and Angel 0.81b for the umpteenth time.  Some user groups are
so to speak stuck in the stone ages and newbie-helping, never quite
getting to the new and modern.  And aren't best known for having $$$.

  | These are features I can add real soon, if people send me money!
  |    o Provision for editing of files, inluding cut and paste
  |    o Loading and saving of ADPCM compressed files
  |    o A version for 64k Apples including the II+
  |    o Release of sourcecode modules for use in system programs
  | Further down the track (good sponsorship money rolling in)
  |    o Loading and saving of Audio-IFF and IBM .wav files in native
  | format    o Loading of compressed IIGS / Mac sounds
  |    o Extraction of Mac/IIGS sounds from resource forks.

Impatiently waiting...  (and realizing that I too haven't sent $15 to
you, meaning to though I've only used the program twice since I got it)

 a| You can retrieve the current version of IISound from most popular
  | Apple II ftp sites on the Internet, notably cco.caltech.edu and
  | grind.isca.uiowa.edu. --

An unsolicited endorsent:  Folks, if you haven't tried IISound 4.2 you
are definitely missing something.  It is incredible.  And it will get
better once Phil does some more work on it as mentioned above.
