Here are some vids of some helpful programs: http://youtu.be/nlAR7Q3IANw Here's another: http://youtu.be/en9tRL1BItM And a utility for editing and generating sound statements. On the VMC10 emulator when you 'print' them they just go to a text file generated by the emulator, which is really useful for then integrating into Basic programs and 'quicktyping' back into the emulator: http://youtu.be/yXXIgQ2wkpY Here a link to all my files as wavs on Google: http://drive.google.com/open?id=0B7oFL_dNqgh9aDB1MW9FVzlibUU" -- Jim Gerrie
