Hi Geoff - No thing special here - I just opened the package, did a "make" and the moved the binary to a directory on the path (/usr/local/bin). Right now I am back in DOS with nettamer and cannot check the bversion I am using, but it is the one distributed by the new maintainer Erik Di Castro in Australia. He apparently took over the package from its original author in order to fix a bug or two that was urgent. As I recall, the command line format would be something like this: vsound -f filename.wav trplayer filename.rm It runs silently, since what it does is intercept library calls to the /dev/dsp device. I have not had any failures with it, and in fact the afix program defers to it to convert .rm files to .wav. Once I get my Linux box back from the hospital I will check out the version and the URL where the current vsound can be had. Chuck.
