DECsound Files DECsound files have a file type of .AUD by default. When you specify a file name for a DECsound file, you do not need to enter the default .AUD file type. DECsound adds the default file type automatically. DECsound can also read audio files created on Sun ~ workstations. These files have a file type of .AU, so when you open these files, you must specify the .AU file type. DECsound creates files in the DDIF format. DDIF (DIGITAL Document Interchange Format) is the standard document format used by CDA ~ , a component of HP's NAS ~ architecture that defines standards for compound documents and enables file interchange among all compliant applications. DECsound is supplied with a number of sample files of file types .AUD and .AU. These files are located in the DECW$EXAMPLES directory.
