If your browser doesn't transition for you, click on the link above. That one doesn't exist either. In attempts to compile some of the sources which are available for LINUX I have not been sucessful.

I'd hate to go back to W95 to do the sound file work I've been doing. (The Creative software on W95 won't work with the E: drive anyway.) I'd appreciate any help. Thank You.
