  Hello, all!

  Although I had planned to wait 'till Friday, to write a complete =
introduction to the project, and give a nice little outline of what work =
remains to be done, there's a quick assignment that I'd like to post, =
first...

  In short, we don't have the original audio files for the voices. We =
do, however, have them in .abx format, which I believe is (yet another) =
format that's specific to the 3DO. Also, we have a .c file which I =
believe decodes abx files, though it doesn't save them to .wavs, or any =
other nice format (.wavs actually are the best format for these). So, =
this is a pretty simple problem: just modify the program to save a .wav =
file to disk. The program should be executable from a console, taking =
abx filenames as arguments.

  Here's the .c file:

  Here's a sample .abx file (let me know if you need more):

  Feel free to use #sc2 on irc.openprojects.net for realtime =
interaction. Otherwise, don't hesitate to post questions to the list. =
I'll try to be available on irc, though I might be away for long periods =
of time.

  Good luck!
