-
- VBSYX is designed to decode and encode System Exclusive (SYSEX) messages
- for many Roland <tm> Sound Modules and Cards. Currently, the program
- specifically supports SYSEX messages for the SC-55, SC-155, SCC1, SC-88,
- M-GS64 and RAP-10. Other compatible modules/cards will probably work with
- this program: however, they are not specifically supported.
-
- All Yamaha XG Sound Modules and Cards are supported.
-
- Please see the files REGISTER.TXT, ORDER.FRM (for Australian and
- International, non-USA non-UK), ORDER.UK (for United Kingdom orders) and
- ORDER.USA (for United States orders) files included in this archive for
- information on registering this program.
-
- XG/GS MIDI Jukebox is bundled with VBSYX. Register one, the other is FREE!

- INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR VBSYX
- ===================================
-
- 1) Unzip this archive. Run the SETUP.EXE program enclosed.
-
- WARNING - WARNING - WARNING - WARNING
-
- If you don't have a copy of VBRUN300.DLL (the Visual Basic 3
- DLL runtime library) in your x:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory, the
- SETUP program and VBSYX won't run. Get hold of a copy or ask
- me for one.
-
- 2) The program will copy CMDIALOG.VBX, SPIN.VBX, THREED.VBX,
- GRID.VBX, COMMDLG.DLL, MIDIVBX.VBX and CALLBACK.DLL to your
- x:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory if you don't already have a copy
- of these files.
-
- Note: You may have older versions of these files. VBSYX will
- NOT work with them. If the program won't load OR does strange
- things during operation, use the VBXs I sent you. MAKE BACKUP
- COPIES OF YOUR ORIGINALS FIRST!
-
- It MIGHT be possible to set the Working Directory for the
- Program Item to be the same as the directory where all files
- that came with this program are stored. This should work, but
- it is not foolproof as Windows may have loaded the other VBXs
- for use by other Windows programs. Play safe: copy the files.
- Keep the old VBXs in case something else stops working <g>
-
- 3) Use PKUNZIP or whatever to unzip the SYX.ZIP file to a
- suitable directory (e.g., C:\VBSYX\SYSEX). This file contains
- example SYSEX files for you to use.
-
- 4) Let it rip. View the HELP, CONTENTS FIRST! I know: you never
- use help. Well, in this case, do what you're told. There are
- some *very* important messages there.
-
- Let me know if you find any bugs - if you don't, I won't know to fix them.
- If possible, MIME send me a copy of any .SYX file you are having trouble
- with. This will make my diagnostic work much easier %-) I'll take a
- UUENCODED version at a pinch. Send this to the addresses shown below.
-
- Let me know if you have suggestions for improvement. I may do something
- about them.
-
- Mail all suggestions, compliments, requests for technical support, etc to:
-
- mlevoi@modemss.brisnet.org.au
-
- Good Luck!
