  25. Hello! Thanks for taking the time to acquire our little exec. You might
  26. remember our previous release BLAST, which was a programming interface to
  27. the SB through ct-voice.drv. We now have a GUS! This means we can continue
  28. creating quality software for an even better sound card!
  29.  
  30. Well, this release contains a .voc player, GBLAST. GBLAST will check the
  31. ULTRASND environment variable to determine the GUS' base address, if this
  32. fails it defaults to 220. Also, only single block .voc's are supported,
  33. no stereo, no repeats, no silence, etc. Check the Maybe List below for
  34. possible improvements.
  35.  
  36. If no filename is given, GBLAST will complain. The filenames need to
  37. include the extension as well. After GBLAST has loaded the sample into
  38. GUS memory and starts it playing it exits and allows the user to continue
  39. to do whatever else is important at the moment.
  40.  
  41. If you have any complaints, send them to the Complaint Address listed
  42. below. If you have any suggestions, check the Maybe List below. We might
  43. be thinking of it already. If you like what you see, send it to the
  44. Complaint Address as well.
  45.  
  46. Maybe List:
  47.         - Add stereo support.
  48.         - Add silence and repeat blocks.
  49.         - Add compression blocks. (doubtful)
  50.         - A shell to play vocs. (Very hopeful)
  51.         - Volume control.
  52.         - Multiple filenames.
  53.         - Add .wav support. (Or whatever other file types you request)
  54.  
  55. Complaint Address:
  56.         - Email
  57.                 jjlucsy@major.cs.mtu.edu
