*** ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ***
Version 2.89 New detection routines for SB April 3rd, 1994
Optional DMA for GUS
- New detection routines for SB family. These routines use
the BLASTER environment variable (if available) to detect the
presense of Sound Blaster (Pro, 16). If BLASTER is not available
the old hardware detection routines are used instead.
+ You can now use either the old byte-by-byte transfer method or
the new DMA transfer. Parameter '-g' enables the non-DMA
method.
- Fixed a bug in AudioTrix Pro (and Windows Sound System) exit
routine that caused incorrect IRQ and DMA channel to be active
after exit.
* Another new Internet mail address, you can now reach me at:
otto.chrons@cc.tut.fi ( easier to remember ;) )
c142092@lehtori.cc.tut.fi
c142092@proffa.cc.tut.fi
*** ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ***
Version 2.88 Loaders fixed March 20th, 1994
- GUS DMA bugs fixed. If you had differing DMA channels for
recording and output, DMP would lock up.
- MTM and FAR loaders work now significantly better
* New Internet mail address:
c142092@lehtori.cc.tut.fi
*** ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ***
Version 2.87 GUS bug fixes March 13th, 1994
- Samples are now downloaded into GUS using DMA
- GUS player bugs fixed (skipped notes, inaccuracy)
- With PAS the DMA transfer was not stopped after exit -> slow down
* Released a 32-bit version of DMP. Check out for DMP/32
*** ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ***
Version 2.86 Bug fixes February 26th, 1994
New batch features
- Fixed the quality mode bug in 2.85 that caused lockups
+ New commandline option '-X' enables quiet screen mode. In this
mode DMP writes absolutely NOTHING to the screen. Great for
batch files.
+ Error level support for '-Wcmd' option. If your spawned program
returns with error level 68, DMP exits immediately. Meant to be
used within batch files...
- You now have 1 second to decide whether to play corrupted modules
or not. Press 'N' or ESC if you don't want to play the module.
- Fixed the MTM loader's heap corrupting bug.
*** ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ***
Version 2.85 Bug fixes February 22nd, 1994
* Skipped 2.84 because a fake version had that version number

Version 2.83 SB 44kHz mono support (SB Pro, SB 2.00) February 14th, 1994

Amplifying bug fixed
+ SB and SB Pro 44kHz support. Use -m with SB Pro to force mono.
+ AudioTrix Pro support (use WSS options)
DMP -c8 -d3 -p530 module
- Lots of internal changes for better code.

*** ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ***
Version 2.82 Faster mixing January 31st, 1994
+ Rewritten mixing routines are now about 25% faster on my 486/33
- PAS DMA bugs fixed (hopefully). Caused flipped L/R channels, or
noise.

Version 2.80 GUS bug fixes January 17th, 1994
25/50 row display
- Some GUS bugs fixed: new volume table, lot less "missing" notes,
some IRQ bugs fixed
+ You can now switch the screen to 25/50 lines by pressing 'Z'
Or you can use command line option '-Z25' or '-Z50'
BTW, my birthday is on the 30th of January (I'll be 21) so if
you haven't sent the "I like DMP" card, now is the right time!
