- SHAREWARE VERSION:
- ==================
-
- This product is shareware. It has 4 functional mixing channels, but is
- functional for testing and programming purposes only. Any software
- compiled with this system must be kept private. To distribute products
- to the public (in any form) you must register this software. A 16 channel
- library will be provided upon registration along with an unlimited production

- TESTING THE SYSTEM:
- ===================
-
- First, you need to execute the SETUP.EXE program to configure. It will
- ask you the hardware parameters of your soundcard device.
- After, you can play music module files using the standalone music player
- program PLAY.EXE using the following command line syntax:
-
- PLAY file[.dsm]
-
- There are a couple of DSM module files included in the package that you
- can play. Also, you can use the CONV.EXE utility to convert other module
- file formats like MODs, STMs, 669s, S3Ms and MTMs to the DSIK's own module
- format, which uses the file extension DSM.
-
-
- BUILDING THE EXAMPLES:
- =====================
-
- You need to have Borland Pascal 7.0 installed on your system. The makefile
- included in the package have all the information to build the example
- programs. However, you may need to modify this file. You need specify
- the directory of the binary, includes and unit files of Borland Pascal
- changing the following equates defined in the EXAMPLES.MAK file:
-
- BIN = c:\bp\bin # Borland Pascal binary directory
- INC = c:\bp\include # Borland Pascal include directory
- LIB = c:\bp\units # Borland Pascal units directory
-
- After the EXAMPLES.MAK was modified, execute the MAKE utility to build
- all the examples typing at the DOS prompt:
-
- C:>MAKE -f EXAMPLES.MAK
-
- If you want to build the examples from the Borland Pascal IDE, simply
