Hi Comix:

It's very simple to employ, I'm sure you'll at least find it 
interesting. Its compression is significant, and files decompress to 
exactly their original state. It's impressive.

Excellent news. I'm learning more about those other formats, Linux 
soundapps should definitely support some of the more popular sample 
formats if possible.

Alas, I'm having a new problem with H. Normally I build it myself on my 
Planet CCRMA and AGNULA systems, but the most recent CVS sources now 
require an updated version of autoconf :

    configure.in:5: error: Autoconf version 2.58 or higher is required

Is this requirement absolute, or is there a way to build H with an 
earlier version ? Mine is 2.57 on the Planet C system, I haven't tried 
building on my recently updated AGNULA Demudi system yet.

Best regards,
