You can't email 78 Megs. You could put it on a PC formatted Zip disk.
Nor can you fit a 78 Meg file into 16 Megs of RAM.
The 8SVX file will be at least half the size of the WAV, depending on
whether the WAV is compressed. You may need to reduce the sample rate as
well as the number of bits per sample to get it to a reasonable size
(about 2 Megs, ideally).
This is why people use MODs or MIDI files, or in the future Structured
Audio. (Same idea, updated).
The best thing to do is leave the file as a WAV on the Amiga hard drive,
and use Scala's Execute menu to run Play16 in CLI mode. See the Play16
doc file for details of commands. In Scala, you just type in what you
would type in the Shell. The Wait option should be OFF or it will wait
until the sound has finished before showing any more stuff on screen.
