If you run this program in less than 75MHz pentium, use '-p' switch!!
Without that switch maplay raises its priority to timecritical, and gives
time to other programs only when buffers are full. This means that IF YOUR
MACHINE IS TOO SLOW, YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO INTERRUPT MAPLAY OR DO ANYTHING
ELSE. While even this shouldn't crash your machine (maplay will exit once
file is played), it may hang it for some time. And the sound you are hearing
may be ... interesting.
Maplay was tested on 75MHz pentium (works better without '-p' switch) and
120MHz pentium (works well even with '-p' switch). It should be able to run
faster 486s in mono mode (use '-l' or '-r' switch). Both machines had GUS.
I have also got a report, that it works on soundblaster-16 after installing
newer drivers (see README.OS2).
Maplay for OS/2 needs MMPM to be installed and an audio card capable of
44.1kHz 16 bit output. Also you may need emx runtime libraries
(ftp://ftp.leo.org/pub/comp/os/os2/02-emx-runtime.zip) if you don't have
them already.
