This directory stores sound files in WAV, RealAudio, and various Psion
formats. Each format has its own directory, but not all files have been
converted to each seperate format yet, sorry.



The files are:

bingely-bingely-beep  - This is a *wonderful* sound clip of Terry doing
                        the "bingely bingely beep" sound that Vimes'
         	        organizer makes in _Feet of Clay_.
			The 'wve' file is in Psion 3 format, the 's5'
			file in Psion 5. Sampled by Colm Buckley at the
			DWCon, cleaned up and uploaded by Kate Harris
			and Mike Knell.

Sound files uploaded by Mark Walton (mark@frobozz.demon.co.uk).

The sounds were recorded in mono at 11 KHz to minimize the file size. Even
so, please note that some of the clips last nearly 30 seconds, and that the
WAV versions of these files are therefore quite large.

In order to cut down your download time, be sure to specify a correct
compression-on-the-fly download method, i.e. say "get brains.wav.zip"
or "get brains.wav.Z" instead of just "get brains.wav". The software
will then automatically perform the compression for you (see also the
file /pub/pratchett/README.COMPRESSION).
