Stupid question number 2:

New user - using Csound for Win95 - Computer idiot

What's the best way to create soundin files.  I had an error trying to
use a sample I created in one of the standard wave recorders.  The
message was something like "Error - is wave file compressed?"
Does it want a compressed file or an uncompressed file?  and how can I
change this file to the prefered format.

Thanks for your patience.
