If you must use DOS and ver 2.2 of Mathematica (which is not a bad
thing), it might be easiest to record the sounds, generated by
Mathematica, on a tape recorder. For best quality, use a direct line
patch from the sound card to the recorder (instead of through the air
via speakers & mic) -- both for recording and playback. The details of
this arrangement will depend upon the equipment you have on hand.
Once the recording is made, you play it back to the sound card, and
using your favorite sound editing program , capture and save as the
sound file format of your choice.
