what John has kindly researched and sent to me
forgot 2 send the original Q to the list
so
thought that i had to share this info
with os9 users on this list
thanx john
the research on my side
is not completed (excuse me)
but here are some thing i've already experienced

"SIOW" compile could make the app
that'll give a window by double-click
help info inside of it
but won't let me type anything
so i tried

and got the tool
saol's manual tells the Linux-users to
"copy /usr/doc/sfront/examples to your home directory"
but i couldn't imagine what it would mean to mac people
so
simply changed the CD to example/min/
via MPW's menu
and did
sfront -orc min.saol -sco min.sasl -aout min.aif
MPW told me that there are no tool named "sfront"
so i copied the compiled thing to the example/min/ and did the same
now sa.c came out but not with min.aif
now i'll have to study how to handle this sa.c buy my MPW
(don't know if this sa.c itself is a successful one ... so will report later)
but anyway
also tried
make
but the result was like this:

was that
sample_1.aif things @ othere examples
we're not able to open from my QuickTime4
SoundHack could open but couldn't play
