Sweet, that works! Thank you!

Now is there a way to view what the wav header actually looks like so
I can repair the PD source? I used vi to delete the header and all the
data that is not ascii shows up as ^@. I want to diff the two headers
and then repair the fault in the PD source.

Thanks again for the speedy help! You rock!
