	About a week ago I bought a SoundBlaster.  Since that time, I have
been sucking down files from every FTP sight that I got a reference to.  Not
to mention every NEWS GROUP that I thought might possibly have a discussion
on the SoundBlaster.  Well, to no avail, I have not found what I wanted so,
I realize this is probably a common question, I need info on how to program
the SoundBlaster -- IMHO, $150 for the card, a decent set of speakers, and
a decent mic needs a little more use than just to play video games.

	What I am primarily concerned with, at this time, is the format of the
.VOC files and how to get the SoundBlaster to play a .VOC file from a program
I write.  BTW, I would like to be able to play the .VOC file in the background.

	I enjoy the sound capabilities of the SoundBlaster, but I would like
to be able to use the SoundBlaster in my programs, and I would like to be
able to edit .VOC files.

	Please send my any info you may have, any places you know where I
can get info, any programs that do what I have requested (non-crippleware or
non-shareware prefered since I would like to be able to fully utilize the
program and possibly reverse engineer it, so not having to mess with copyrights
would be nice), any source code (I would REALLY - REALLY - REALLY appreciate
source code since this is much easier to understand than a straight .EXE
file).  No information will be treated as too insignificant or too
overwhelming.  The more information the better.

	I will compile an information file about SoundBlaster.  Incuding
any programs that I receive and and information about how to utilize it.
Anybody that wants the file, when it is completed, can e-mail me and
I will send it to you -- if there are a large number of requests I will
place it on an FTP sight.

	Think you for all the assistance I know I will receive.
