You'll have to run some programs on both sides.  First, I recommend
that you get rSounder3 from ground.isca.uiowa.edu (it's probably in
a SHK file, but the IIGS equipped with GSHK should be able to unpack
it.

Running rSounder, you'll be able to convert the rSounds to type BIN.

On the Mac side, you'll have to use some sort of sound utility to
convert these sounds from a data fork to a resource fork.  Try
wuarchive.wustl.edu to find that utility.

It's necessary to change those BIN sounds to rSounds with a utility,
because for technical reasons, changing the filetype alone will not
work.

Good luck.
