Stan, thanks for replying.

I am using Version 2.1, dated July 25, 1996.  Is there a newer/better
version available?

The point about the loop point getting chopped off is a good one, that
may have been my problem in another case. However, in this case there
was plenty of room and the .VB file was only 75K.  The only thing loaded
into the yaroze memory was this vab with only one sound.

Any ideas?

Thanks for you support.
