The original question was for a Mac G4 quick-utility and since I don't work much on the Windows platform I don't have an answer. There are 3-5 ways of doing this on the Mac and I am sure there are ways of doing something similar on Windows. Hopefully someone with good experience can chime in. Don't get me wrong about WinXP. I use it and rely on it in one of my two businesses. Could not run without it. But I mostly write Rev cross-plat apps, some Excel, and much networking. Nothing with voices or sound.
