[NJARC] Sound record/playback module

[Alex Magoun]

Nick,
    I'm just the pointy-haired boss or his straight-haired twin in this project, and Joel Cohen is the volunteer working out the technical issues.  He's not on-line but will be at the party tomorrow, and perhaps you too can touch base on this.
    cheers,
Alex
