I know it's a strange question, one which I suspect not many of you have asked.

There is a way to answer this question though :cool:

Download the free Audacity audio editor.

From the File menu select Import>Raw Data:

Choose a file:

Select 'U-Law' as the Encoding:

Your setting should look like this:

Channels may be mono or stereo - doesn't really matter much. Finally click on Import and have a listen to your file. This will work with pretty much anything you throw at it - .wid, .exe, .unv, etc. For instance, here is the waveform for the E-Fashion universe:

Sadly .mp3 and .wav attachments are not allowed here, so you'll have to try for yourselves  . The results are rarely musical but are nonetheless often quite interesting.
