Does anyone know anything about files with extension .DLL , I have found files with this extension which contain sound files but I cant get at them.

Any ideas Oh Great Knowledgeable Ones.

I use Goldwave to edit sound files but when I import these DLL files in different formats I can see they contain sounds but they are distorted, and run far too fast even run at 10% speed.

dll stands for dynamic link library if memeory serves.

When it comes to extracting them, I don't have a clue.

The dynamic link library type of DLL is just a windows exe with resources, so in this case the sound files will probably be stored as binary resources. You can extract them with something like Visual C++ or there are probably lots of resource grabbers out there which can also do the job.

You next problem is finding out which format it is actually stored in. Most likely WAV, but anythings possible.

Of course dll is just an extension so the file could really be anything.

Cheers Byran, I think it is wav format as when played there are recognisable sounds when pulled into Goldwave as a PCM format at 16 bit stereo, I now understand why bits of it sound like a modem, thats the exe bit. Can anyone point me in the direction of a downloadable simple resource grabber.
