MIDAS simple programming interface
----------------------------------
MIDAS.C & MIDAS.H and MIDAS.PAS contain a simplified MIDAS Sound System
programming interface, which allows easy integration of background
music into programs. They are not directly suitable for other kinds of
programs than stand-alone module players, but can serve as a basis for
building a tailored interface for your own needs.
The MIDAS programming interface also includes a command-line option and
environment string parser. While this kind of configuration is not
useful in most applications, they can serve as a quick setup system
during development phase, until you have time to build a better
configuration system for your own program. Again, the command-line
option parser can be used as a convenient basis for a setup program.
The MIDAS parser recognizes the following options:
-sx Force Sound Device x (1 = GUS, 2 = PAS, 3 = WSS, 4 = SB,
5 = No Sound)
-pxxx Force I/O port xxx (hex) for Sound Device
-ix Force IRQ x for Sound Device
-dx Force DMA channel x for Sound Device
-mxxxx Set mixing rate to xxxx Hz
-oxxx Force output mode (8 = 8-bit, 1 = 16-bit, s = stereo,
m = mono)
-e Disable EMS usage
-t Disable ProTracker BPM tempos
-u Enable Surround sound
-v Disable real VU-meters
Also '\' is recognized as an option delimiter.
