Something tells me there must > be a really good reason why it is not implimented. Other than that There is. Well, at least to some extent. The internal format DMP uses (the AMF format) is a MIDI-like format with 'events' instead of effects per row. So internally, there is no such thing as a row at a fixed position. In order to be able to do repeats Otto has to come up with something like specifying to what position (in the AMF stream) the song position has to jump. That seems rather eay to me, but Otto has still not implemented it.

No, I didn't have problems with this (I found the directory), but here's my plight: I received part 2 of 2 of the updated drivers (in DMP-LIST), but never part 1. It's been 6 days; so I know it's been lost somewhere in the bitbucket. I'd like to get it, but when I went to ftp.cdrom.com, I didn't really know what filename to look for. Could someone PLEASE write to me (privately) and tell me what the filename for the updated drivers is?

On the DTK 486/33 and SB Pro, when I try to shell out to DOS, DMP continues to play in the background, but I get no DOS prompt and am 'effectively' locked up. On the 486DX2/66 with the SB16, I get the 'appearance' that DMP is playing, but hear no sound. DMP 301 works fine on both machines.

ZD 3 You're right.. the new DMP doesn't do anything to detect the presence of 3 DeqView nor Windows... @D[CO=>BP] Will you be adding it back anytime soon? I like the setup (Even though the file choose doesn't respect the command-line screen lines argument...) but it's of no use to me as a stand-alone only player... And DMP 3.x was the best DV-aware player I've found... everything else slows down all windows horribly (I'd rather get a stutter) or makes a clicking sound under DV...
