CICA AVS4 SONIFICATION MODULES

Please note that these modules are in Beta release.  Please report any bugs
to the address at the bottom of this file.

These modules facilitate data sonification and sound synthesis by allowing
modules to send sound synthesis commands to the Sonify module.
Brief descriptions of the modules follow.  Full documentation for each
module is available.

Sonify
	The Sonify module will synthesize sounds and can be controlled by
	other modules via command string input.  It is most useful for data
	sonification where a data-producing module will send commands to
	Sonify based on the data represented.

GraphSound
	The GraphSound module generates a graph of the waveform of a sound
	produced by the Sonify module and is useful as a diagnostic tool.

All modules run as-is only under AVS4.  They would require some modification
to run under AVS3 or earlier.  The Sonify module will only run as-is on
Silicon Graphics platforms that support sound.

The modules and documentation are available via anonymous ftp from 
ftp.cica.indiana.edu (129.79.20.84) in the directory pub/avs/Sonify.
