   3.985 (11/7/96)

         New e-mail address 'charles@cerise.ml.org' and minor changes


   3.980 (10/21/96)

         Bug fixes, mainly about module playing

                           WDFIL   .S3M (Global volume)
                           STARFALL.XM  (Note-off on track 0)


   3.962 (9/30/96)

         Now plays many 669, MOD, NST, MTM, S3M and XM more accurately than
         Mod4Win 2.30, DMP 4.00, Inertia Player 1.21 and Cubic Player 1.7 !

         * XM file format {complete} support
           XM format brings new features
            + multi-sample intstruments (up to 128 instruments of 16 samples)
            + envelope generators for volume and panning, each with sustain
              and loop mode
            + instrument fade out
            + new effects: global volume slide, panning slide left or right,
              set volume envelope position, set vibrato speed
            + variable pattern length, from 1 to 256 rows
            + linear frequence table (allows a constant variation of pitch in
              vibrati and pitch slides)
            {+ Bidirectionnal sample loop (great with strings)}
         * Global surround mode
         * Enhanced file selector: 4 modes ! (1x17, 1x38, 7x16, 7x37
           (columnsxrows)) with mouse
         * Sizeable instrument list (and full screen mode)
         * Mouse support
         * User defineable colors in GUI (at will or select color schemes)
         * Bug fixes, mainly in pattern reading (see MMP_REV.TXT
           for more details)

         Bug fixes :(

           - surround mode
           - configuration saving. Short pathnames are saved and environment
             string MMP can be used to define the default path for MMP.CFG
           - interrupt handler (conflicts with keyboard IRQ)
           - S3Ms period calculation (now exact)
           - Note delay (complete redesign)
           - Tremor (init bug)
           - Tremolo (too weak amplitude)
           - Portamento (continue porta after a pitch slide)
           - Position jump (when used with pattern break)
           - Pattern break (buggy if row>0)
           - Glissando switch implemented (MF_CRETI.XM)

         And many internal changes to make MMP very stable and faster

         Modules which WERE not read correctly (not exhaustive) :)
         (I insist, they are NOW read perfectly ...)

                       1993    .MOD (note delay)
                       WIZBALL .MOD (note delay)
                       BACKWARD.S3M (pattern break)
                       CRONOLOG.S3M (note delay)
                       DESIRED .S3M (volume slide)
                       ICE     .S3M (period calculation)
                       LEM-PART.S3M (empty instruments had to be used)
                       SANXION .S3M (pattern break)
                       SCAMEL  .S3M (tremolo)
                       SNOWD   .S3M (untyped instruments had to be discarded)

         (This makes only a few modules on several hundreds ... but let's
          listen to the XMs now ... ;) )

   2.606 (5/7/96)

         First Internet release with following features

         * DMP surround mode supported

         * SB Pro, SB 16/AWE 32 hardware support
