Shouldn't be a problem there, if we can GET people to do it! #:)

No, as of right now, you can NOT ftp TO ftp.wku.edu.  As I've said
before, the best way that we have to do all of this right now is to
UUENCODE it and mail it to me.

Unless someone knows of a FTP site we can use to transfer stuff back
and forth.

.AU files seem to be the most popular format for sound files right
now.  You can FTP a version of SOX, which is a .WAV <-> .AU converter
(I think you can get it from Oak.Oakland.Edu in the SimTel archives).

.AU's are probably the most popular right now because that is the
format most UNIX systems use (I believe), and as we all know (or
should by now) UNIX is the Most popular Operating System in the World
right now (and I can say this without bias, since I am a Devote VMS
man).
