DECsound Files
DECsound files have a file type of .AUD by default. When
you specify a file name for a DECsound file, you do not
need to enter the default .AUD file type. DECsound adds the
default file type automatically.
DECsound can also read audio files created on Sun ~
workstations. These files have a file type of .AU, so when
you open these files, you must specify the .AU file type.
DECsound creates files in the DDIF format. DDIF (DIGITAL
Document Interchange Format) is the standard document
format used by CDA ~, a component of Compaq's NAS ~
architecture that defines standards for compound documents
and enables file interchange among all compliant applications.
DECsound is supplied with a number of sample files of
file types .AUD and .AU. These files are located in the
DECW$EXAMPLES directory.
