First of all, I don't think it is a good idea to attach 2.5Mb to a mail
sent to the mailing list...
Anyway, I think that CoolEdit normalizes simply by adjusting the peak
amplitude to the value you specified (did you think about pressing the
Help button?...). But you can easily find the peak value by the Menu:
Analyse/Statistics (0 decibel will correpond to the maximum value
possible, i.e. in the case of a 16-bit sample to 32768).
