There are programs out there that will resample you wav file Doing a Google
search on "make wav files smaller" brings up 17,300,000 options. There is
also an option in Outlook Express that will split your file into packets,
and reassemble it at the other end

|I zipped the folder containing the .pps and linked .wav file, but it is
still
| just too big to send to anyone. It only went down to 49 MB.
|
| I need a better way to do this (without having to start from scratch, that
| is). Is there any SIMPLE way to shrink the size of the .wav file so that
both
| files can be on their way down the information super highway?!
