HISTORY:
--------
Version 1.8.0.1 (04/11/2001)
- added SoundForte Xtreme (SF64PCx, SF256PCx) driver into installation package,
preceding installation of RadioAktive should not be required anymore
(restart is necessary in most cases when driver is not installed yet)
- if loop recording was active during last Radiator session, it will start
automatically again when Radiator is launched again (even when active only as
tray icon)
- other minor enhancements
Version 1.8.0.0 (01/11/2001)
- loop recording - automatical recording of last minutes into buffer with
defined length/size - no more missing beginnings of songs (Ctrl + L)
- redesigned main window to be more synoptic
- new button "Save and name automatically" (Ctrl + A)
- redefineable filename mask (incl. extension)
- possibility to use variables in filenames (also in scripts) with filtering of
not allowed characters
- possibility to choose stations that will not be shown in menu
- added Recording menu item
- essentially enhanced support of controlling via messages, added small
command-line application (its source code is available for download)
- added application for controlling Radiator via Windows global hot-keys
- hardware scanning support for SoundForte Xtreme family cards
- added 48x48 icon ;-)
- possibility to tune really wihout limits (if allowed by hardware and driver)
- insert key No limit=1 into section [Settings] of radiator.ini
VERSION NOTES:
--------------
- Loop recording works only when recording using codecs. If you have been using
uncompressed Wave PCM till now, you can get the same results using codecs.
Just select PCM coded with appropriate properties - and furthermore - you will
be able to use loop recording.
- CPU load is nearly the same as while file recording
In general, PCM, IMA ADPCM etc. require less CPU time than MP3.
- Length of buffer is shown as the last item in codec properties field
in Radiator configuration.
- When "Save and name automatically" button is down, it will assign name and save the
recorded file without showing save dialog.
- Tip for folders creating: add following into filename (e.g.: %a\%m%d.wav) and
recorded files will be divided according to stations names.
- List of variables: %y (Year), %m (Month), %d (Day), %h (Hour), %n (miNutes),
%s (Seconds), %f (Frequency in MHz - e.g. 89_70), %b (station numBer),
%a (station nAme), %l (Login name in Windows), %c (Codec name).

incorrect (for example max. bitrate of DivX is in its current
version limited to 64kbit/s).
It is advisable to make a short record and try to play it in
WinAmp for ex. If you can hear anything it is OK :-)
- support for GemTek FMRadio 21 (USB) - works on Win2000, WinME a Win98
(where is USB port supported) - just install USB radio driver (usbradio.sys)

(www.mediaforte.com.sg)
It is necessary to install drivers for the soundcard itself and then
MediaForte radio software for it (RadioActive). Version 4.00 is tested.
As soon as radio start work on original software the Radiator should work
also.
Radiator uses MediaForte driver located in system folders, so do NOT
uninstall RadioActive. If you want you can delete folder where it is
located (C:\PCIRADIO by default) and links in Start menu, but files in
system folders should not be deleted. Scanning does not work yet...

- due to unknown reason 'Check the recording device' feature does not
work properly on Windows 2000 and SB Live 1024 - it checks other source

which checks the right source in mixer
