Sound 1.1

The Sound utilities provide facilities to record and play sounds on
Apple Macintosh computers running A/UX 3.0 (or later) without requiring
the Macintosh Desktop to be running.  They were originally written as
replacements for the utilities provided with Nathaniel Borenstein's
Metamail package to support MIME audio for A/UX, in conjunction with
sound file conversion programs such as Sox and Sun2snd.

The following programs are provided:

composesound - Shell script to interactively record and review sounds.
play - Command line interface to play sounds.
record - Command line interface to record sounds.

Also included are a makefile to properly build and install the utilities
using tools bundled with A/UX, and a complete online manual.

These utilities rely heavily on some platform-specific features of A/UX,
and it is very unlikely that they will work on other platforms.  They
also process sounds in the Mac's native format, 8-bit linear encoding,
so a sound conversion program is needed to make them work with the more
common MIME audio types and World Wide Web browsers.

To install this software, edit the Makefile's BINDIR and MANDIR macros
to indicate the correct install locations of the executables and man
pages, respectively.  Do a "make all" to verify the build, then do a
"make -n install" to verify the installation process, and finally do a
"make install" (as root) to install the result.

This software is donated to the public domain by its author, Paul Sander
(paul@sander.cupertino.ca.us).

Changes from 1.0 to 1.1:
- Added volume control for the play and composesound programs.

Acknowledgements:
- Doug Gravino suggested the volume control and pointed out the necessary
  undocumented features to implement it.
