Latest versions are available at
MEDIA BBS
+49-40-677 95 53 [16.8 ZyXEL ]
+49-40-675 38 78 [28.8 V.Fast]
REQUEST "CP" or "CP_NEW"
-authors' addresses have changed, see cp.doc
-Intelligent Memory Multiplier. Enables you to upload up to 8 megs of
sampledata to your GUS, CP will try to keep the sound quality as high
as possible. (not just dull doubling... ;)
-Windows Sound System / GUS MAX CODEC support (-cc20 / -cc21)
-GUS daughterboard is WSS. (not tested)
-makes echos, surround and very very big mods possible on a GUS with a
daughterboard or a GUS MAX, though the normal GUS mode usually sounds much
better. backspace should improve the quality)
-detect only works with GUS daughterboard or GUS MAX.
normal WSS owners will have to set the port and dma manually.
(how to detect a WSS?)
-Advanced Note Dots => N
-FFT for no coprocessor systems added (-cf for copro owners)
-common spectrum analyser added in Graphic Spectrum Analyser mode.
(YEHS!, shift tab to change palette)
-big graphic spectrum analyser added: 1024*768, (SHIFT-G)
Pentium recommended for fast mode and Hexium recommended for fine mode.
Resolution could possibly not increase that much on soft-mixer devices.
-OKT support
-new pics, new anis, anis need less mem now.
-analysers for no-coprocessor systems added
-did you notice, that all 16 bit samples were converted down to 8 bits? ;)
the GUS driver now supports 16 bit samples...
-card handles changed:
0: Quiet
1: SoundBlaster 1.x
2: SoundBlaster 2.x
3: SoundBlaster Pro
4: SoundBlaster 16 / AWE32
10: Gravis UltraSound
20: Windows Sound System
21: GUS MAX CODEC
-GUS and serial communication improved (worked with my non-fifo at 19.2k)
-Slow computer owners may use -cqXXXXX to set the desired mixing rate at 32
channels, rates at a different number of channels will be interpolated,
but they will not go beyond the -crXXXXX rate.
(SiPiYou: Ok?)
-scopes/gsa modes changed to 640x480, since problems occurred with
some adaptors
-ms-dos seems to mess around with the fonts when using code pages,
which made the graphics mode's text writing routine crash.
-echo editor added. => E
does not work with the UltraSound driver, of course!
-new: file zapper in the fileselector => ctrl-k
wait for the new fileselector for a better one. this one was just
included due to many urgent requests, and not much work was put in it,
so please do not complain!
-DMF files sound much better now!
(yes, they really sound better with more effects... |^} )
Not all effects are implemented yet, so keep complaining!
(I don't think all of them will ever be implemented...
And finally more (all?) DMFs will be loaded!
(how should I know, that I cannot rely on the information in the DMF?)
All RR Chapter 6 DMFs will be played.
-the single-channel-scope-and-low-relative-pitch-bug removed.
-use -md to make midi channel 16 a drum channel.
(thanks go to Martin Moeller for this info)
-the panic.s3m-much-too-high-pitch-in-pattern-5-bug removed.
(wow, I finally found a solution... ;)
-loader bugfixes (XM, S3M, DMF, 669)
-player bugfixes (S3M, DMF)
-load old mods now stays on. (kick me for 0.96!)
-loop modules & midi works
-walking forward in midi files works
-esc esc 2 escape
-save/restore setting moved to alt-f2/f3
-alt-fX mode keys removed
the next point is only true for Novell EMM386.EXE users:
-IRQs >= 8 do work now...
If such an IRQ did occur in real mode, DOS4G did not pass it up
to protected mode... The bugfix needs an additional interrupt. (0x60)
You can change the interrupt or turn the bugfix off (in case you are the
lucky owner of a new DOS4GW.EXE) by the switch -caXX (0:off)
v0.96 2.3.95
------------------
-ZIP support (use this, if you can!) (-> SET TEMP=tempdir)
-ARJ support (not quite sure about it)
-DMF support (wellwell... not too proud of it :]
but who cares in the times of FastTracker II >) )
-669 support
-WOW support
-ULT support (don't know about the effects...)
-old MODs without a signature will only be played if you set a certain switch
-fileselector: path can be entered manually now (ctrl-return)
-XM keyoff effect was misplaced i.e. put before the note instead of after...
v0.99 FAKE!
------------
I've heard roumors about a v0.99 in the InterNet, but that's all I know...
v0.951 non public release
-------------------------
the pre 0.96 releases were called 0.951, and somehow some people that were
not supposed to get it got it...
v0.95 2.2.95
-----------------
-gus support (-cc5)
DOES NOT WORK WITH IRQs FROM 8 TO 15!!!
This seems to be a problem with DOS4GW 1.95...
If anyone knows how to avoid the loss of interrupts with DOS4GW,
please send me a message!
-example echo/reverb batches added... Cathedral
-132 column modes and 30/60 rows modes <x> or <alt/ctrl-z> (VESA)
-32-bit-fast-fourier-interpolation added <backspace>
-midi scopes <o>
-midi drum channel
-the FIDO-net adress is now right... ;)
-vesa support. graphic output should now work correctly
-text mode analyser's font now set correctly. (hope so..)
-many loader bugfixes.
-cooperative command line help
-OS/2 v3 & sb support (probably also gus, but untested!)
-CAUTION: CP may cause OS/2 to do random writes at the hard disk!
Does anyone have more info about this?
v0.9ß 27.12.94 (party '94 pre-release)
-----------------------------------------------
-first released version
