Thanks in advance. > > Butler Hine > NASA Ames Research Center > hine@galileo.arc.nasa.gov I posted that message. The format is simple, like uuencoded data but just a hair different. The binary data is standard mu-law PCM voice at 8k samples/second, with 8 bit samples. the ascii format is lines of: <space>abcdabcd...(64chars) where each group of 4 characters ('abcd') decodes to 3 bytes as value. Concatenate 4 6-bit values to get 3 8-bit values. Peter Desnoyers >From: mlandau@bbn.com (Matt Landau)
