What's the point of a standard that isn't? Come to think of it, that reasoning frequently fails. The endian issue might also show up if you cross hardware platforms or operating systems. E.G. a "raw" sound file on an Alpha might have the opposite endianness than on an Intel PC. > > OK. I'll give it another shot tonight.

It can also switch byte order if you need it. I don't remember exactly why I settled on those particular tools, except that they were the first I tried that worked adequately, so that's when I quit looking. Both are in ports.
