Anyone know how to decode a wave file into it's two tables of data? I am
interested in coverting wave files to text. I think I have a macro somewhere
that writes a wave file, but I don't know how to reverse engineer it.

this is what I have for writing wave files. these command buttons say PLAY,
REC, and STOP.
