[Mystress Angelique Serpent]

   Hello, Gustaf;

   The original wave files do not exist. Please use the reaplayer files. 
Thank you.

     To explain: when FST was first created, I had a business partner who 
stood behind the digital video camera, and did the video editing and 
realplayer conversion.

    When he closed down his business, he gave me VHS copies of all the 
unedited, original footage we shot, and a CD of the realplayer files for 
the course.
   I did not get the original DV tapes, he could not find them. I did get 
clear copyright to the videos.  Someday, all the VHS will have to be 
converted back to digital and re-edited to make better quality streaming 
media... but I do not know how or when.
