-
- Sounds good. You said this was for sale, how much are you asking for it?
- And in what language is it? (I'm calling from Iceland.. your BBS is a
- long distance call for me.. can't afford it)
-

- > just what is needed in a usable SDK. In just about any real SDK, documentation
- > is _the_ number one concern. Any source code is candy. Nice, but hardly what is
-
- I agree with this. But there is one thing I wonder about.. how many other
- soundcard companies are distributing their SDKs for free? I don't have any
- facts about this, but I do know, I had a hellova time finding code to
- program my soundblaster.. and it has been around for a long time. I think
- that being able to get the info off the net, for the price of a local phone
- call is pretty damn good, even if the damn thing isn't perfect.
-
- I've used the SDK as a reference (the old one) and haven't had much trouble.
- But I haven't tried to do anything fancy, either. But it sure is better
- than the void I ran into when I looked for SB info. (don't tell me about
- the Soundblaster freedom project.. ugh)
-
- > Or, how about, "can't we just get along?". Heh. Where does it say this mailing
- > list is a fan club? Where does it say "dissension" is taboo -- verbotten,
- > off-limits? I've had lots of e-mail telling my to "shut up or else". Ha!
-
- Of course you are free to express your opinions. But you are being
- unnecissarily rude, this is all deteriorating into petty arguments about
- nothing. I personally would rather read about how to program my GUS.
-
-
- And.. just a little off topic:
-
- Anybody got any .MOD songs they wanna share? I'm still looking for
- music for my game(s).. And I'd love some code to play other formats
- as well (.ult, or .669).

-
- Contrary to what has been posted here lately, there is a document that
- shows the changes made to the SDK. Please refer to README.REV file.

-
-
- I didn't feel it was necessary to re-state our e-mail address since it
- is at the top of EVERY post we make to this group.
