My old voice/fax/modem software (BitFax) stored it's voicemail files in a format with the extension ".rif". These files needed to be translated into .wav format files in order to be played through my sound card.The chipset on the modem was from Rockwell, so I believe that the R in .rif refers to a proprietary format developed by Rockwell. I don't believe these .rif files are RIFF files. I would like to locate a converter program that would batch convert .rif into .wav files for archiving so that I would not be required to have my now-15-years-old software installed and working (OS mismatch possible) in order to listen to my old voicemail messages. [Added: Found this: "The DOS conversion programs (DMAIN.EXE, DMAINB.EXE) convert between Rockwell's ADPCM .RIF files to linear PCM files in a .WAV file format suitable for playback on standard MPC hardware, such as a sound card, and vice-versa."
