VoxWare v2.90 release notes
--------------------------
This version includes some hidden features which
are described in the file experimental.txt
Some of these features are not enabled by default. Look at
experimental.txt for more info.
I just decided to release this version with some
incompletely implemented features disabled since
there are some new features required by a popular
application. In addition there is also support
for the GUS MAX and the 16 bit sampling option of GUS.
The MSS/WSS support works now. At least with SG NX Pro 16.
********* IMPORTANT *****************************************
Linux 1.0 or later is required to by this driver version.
Don't distribute binaries which use /dev/sequencer and are
compiled with the soundcard.h of this version. They will
not work with version 2.x of the driver.
*************************************************************
You will need the snd-util-2.5.tar.gz and snd-data-0.1.tar.Z
packages to use this driver. They should be in the same
ftp site or BBS from where you got this driver. For
example at nic.funet.fi:pub/OS/Linux/*.
If you are looking for the installation instructions, please
look at linux/Readme.
Compatibility with the earlier versions
---------------------------------------
This version is backward compatible with the version 2.X. All programs
compiled with sys/soundcard.h of v2.X should work without problems.
PROGRAMS COMPILED WITH THE sys/soundcard.h OF THIS VERSION WILL NOT
WORK WITH v2.X DRIVER. BE CAREFUL WHEN DISTRIBUTING BINARIES COMPILED
FOR THIS VERSION.

NOTE! I probably don't answer to Snail mail or FAX messages. Sending answer
to each of them is simply too expensive and time consuming. However I
try to reply every email message I get (within a week). If you don't
get response, please check how your address is written in the message
