This directory contains various documents and programs having to do
with sound.  Some were developed locally, some were just copied here
for easy reference.

Introducing some of the authors:

	Guido van Rossum <guido@cwi.nl>
	Jack Jansen <jack@cwi.nl>
	K. Sjoerd Mullender <sjoerd@cwi.nl>

Authors not at CWI:

	Carl Malamud <carl@malamud.com> [Now that's a cool address!]
	Lars Hamre <larsha@lise.unit.no>

Some older versions are retained in the directory, but not listed in
this INDEX.

SOX no longer lives here.  It has its own home page:
