- I've finished testing the WOWII 1.00 Mod player. It actually works
- under OS/2 2.0. I was shocked and amazed! This is the only Mod
- Player which has woked so far. There isn't much in the way of an
- interface, requiring you to specifiy input files from the command
- line, but it does a great job. There is a minor glitch in the sound
- related to the fact that the program is doing double-buffered DMA
- transfers, but the author knows about the bug - its related to being
- in v86 mode and is unavoidable.
-
- There is a more recent version out (version 1.2b - WOWII12b.exe -
- located in /pub/MSDOS_UPLOADS right now on wuarchive.wustl.edu). I'll
- try this one soon.

- If anyone has a soundblaster and a non-ATI video board, I'd like to
- hear how well the Sound System (ss.zip) program does. As I've said
- previously, this program can't display its graphical interface on an
- ATI VGA Wonder for some reason. It doesplays it fine on an Ultra or
- on other VGA boards, but I can't test it there, since those computers
- (at school) aren't running OS/2.
