   Are you referring to me, or did you perhaps mean a Mark or Mike?
As far as I know, I'm the only "Mitch" active on the comp.sys.apple2.*
groups and certainly did not write the above.

   As to your question, try AudioZap 1.2. When you select a file
from from a Macintosh disk, it will ask whether you wish to open
either the data or resource fork (normally the digital sample wave-
form will be in the resource, so choose that). As the other person
mentions, you may have to filter out zero's or manually edit out any
"noise" garbage as a result of header information or whatnot. Once
it's loaded in, you'll be able to save in a native IIgs sound format.
