Ugh! I just copied it back to my system and when I tried to unarchive
it using nulib, I got a whole bunch of corruption errors. I then tried
to unpack the original archive (the one I had uploaded to cco) and got
the exact same errors. The one that was posted to comp.binaries.apple2
is probably worthless as well!

Strangely, the File Passage archive that I prepared and uploaded at
the same time seems to be fine. Both archives were created by GSHK. I
have removed the archive from cco and will try to upload it again
tomorrow; I have to
	* archive the waveLAB files on my GS at home
	* copy the archive to an MSDOS-formatted floppy
	* bring the floppy to work
	* sneak onto my boss's PC before he gets in :-)
	* ftp the files from the PC to my UNIX workstation
	* use binpost and ftp to distribute to c.b.a2 and cco
Perhaps in the transition to or from the MSDOS disk I didn't properly
set binary mode...

And Joe... your egg will be in the "usual" place!
