     If anyone has any ideas or suggestions for improvements you can e-mail
me on CompuServe at address 71232,532.  There is a listing of new features 
in this new version 2.02 of FM-Reset listed below!     
     
     These files may be freely distributed without any obligation to
the author.  All I ask is that you distribute all three files together,
unchanged and unmodified.  If you can find it in your heart to send a 
donation I would be eternally grateful and much happier eating something 
other than RAMAN Noodles this month!

     This file was originally intended for OS/2 2.x Users who need an 
easy way to reset the FM-Chip on the Sound Blaster Card that could not 
be accomplished by the SBFMDRV.COM file.  OS/2 seemed to be unaffected 
by the SBFMDRV file.  The only way to adaquetly reset the FM Chip was 
to run the Sound Blaster Test Program (run the 4-Operator test first
and then the 2-Operator test) or play a MIDI file.  This file is intended 
to provide a simple way to accomplish this feat without making the user 
jump through hoops to get there.

     This program will also work on DOS based computers that are experiencing
the same symptoms.

     LIST OF NEW and IMPROVED FEATURES in Version 2.02

     1.  Added error code returns for invalid environment settings and 
         incorrect location of FMRESET.MID file.
     2.  Added environment string reporting and listing of current I/O
         Address, Interrupt Setting, DMA Setting, HDMA Setting (For SB16
         cards ONLY!), MIDI Port Setting (For SB16 cards ONLY!), and the
         card Type designated as the "T" parameter.
     3.  Returns Good Reset message after a good complete reset of the 
         Sound Blaster card.
     4.  Fixed problem with version 2.01 returning "Incorrect DOS version"
         The FM-Reset program was still functioning correctly, it was just
         making a call that is not supported under the DOS Session in OS/2.


This zip contains three files:

     FMRESET2.COM     (Executable)
     FMRESET.MID      (Blank MIDI Header to reset FM Chip on 
                       SB16\SBPro1\SBPro2\SB1.x\SB2.0)
     FMRESET2.TXT     (This Text File)

1) Copy FMRESET2.COM to the Sound Balster directory or some other directory 
     in the path statement so you may run it from any directory on the 
     hard drive.

2) Copy FMRESET.MID to the Sound Blaster directory.  This file MUST be in 
     the Sound Blaster directory.
