SoundBlaster inoformation requested

	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.

    I hate to break this to you, Heath, but I used to use Pert, and
    when I went to get my hair cut one time, they asked if I used Pert.
    I said, yes, why? and they said that it leaves a waxxy residue in
    your hair that isn't healthy. They took a fine-tooth comb and ran
    it through my hair and showed my the white gross gunky stuff. So, I
    would recommend switching to Finesse Shampoo. It works even better
    than Pert.

I've noticed that white stuff on my comb, too.  I don't have dandruff,
and I never knew what it was, until now.

I love useless threads under unrelated subject lines!

You can buy the SoundBlaster Developers Kit for DOS or Windows from Creative 
Labs. It cost around $100 I think. We have used the Windows version and it 
is quite simple to use and it has good documentation, with several examples.

Hope this helps,

Jonas.

	I'm afraid the original poster really said a lot with few
words when he said "$150 for the cards...more use than just to play
video games."
	IMHO Creative Labs must be the epitome of the arrogant 
Corporation, if they think the deserve $100 for their development
kit.  From what I hear it's no good, anyway.

	In an earlier post, I mistakenly gave people bogus info on
how to subscribe to the Sound Blaster PROGRAMMER's mailing list.
The way to subscribe is: mail this message:
SUBSCRIBE BLASTER {your name goes  here}
to: listserv@porter.geo.brown.edu
Example, I would send SUBSCRIBE BLASTER Heath Hunnicutt

	Administrative questions should be directed to Joel Plutchak,
plutchak@porter.geo.brown.edu.

See ya,
Heath
