Well.  I've been wanting this for sometime myself, so I digitised the theme
last night (start of a new series, so got the TARDIS materialising as
well).  The problem is the size.  In it's data state, it's 1.1 megs
in size at 22khz!!.  In a Stuffed state, it is 991K in size, and when
binhexed it is 1.4 megs in size!.

This makes it totally impractical to send it over e-mail to anyone (I still
haven't managed to split the beast yet.. QUED/M failed me.. even with
5 megs to play with).  What I propose, is that if you are interested
in this sound, send me some e-mail with a postal address and when I get
it diskable, I'll drop it onto a couple of 800K floppies and mail them (as
long as this doesn't prove to be too expensive).

Stu.
