- If you have a question you would like to ask me, check this file first
- so that I don't have to answer to so many similar questions.

- I have to do my military service from June 10th, 1993 to May 5th, 1994
- and during this time I will only be able to work on DMP and other
- projects on weekends, so don't except anything fancy in forthcoming DMP
- releases.

- Q: I have Internet mail access. How can I get new DMP most easily?
- A: By joining the DMP mailing list. Just send a message to
- listserv@oliver.sun.ac.za with following message body
-
- subscribe DMP-LIST Your Name
-
- After joining, you will receive new DMP releases right into
- your own mailbox. You also need uudecode utility to extract
- DMP.

- Q: The left and right channels are reversed on my SB Pro, but if I
- press 'F' or 'S' to switch filter/stereo, left and right
- channels sometimes switch places.
- A: Yes, this is a bug in the SB Pro hardware, but I'm working on
- to get the left and right channels go OK in the first place.
- There is nothing I could do about those filter/stereo switches.
-
- Q: I'm having troubles with my PAS16. The music is just plain
- static, what's going wrong?
- A: Problem here is that, for some odd reason, DMP transfers one
- single byte before actual music transfer starts, leading to
- noise, because the bytes are reversed in 16-bit data. This only
- happens with 8-bit DMA, so you should try 16-bit DMA channels
- 5,6 or 7.
-
- Q: EMS is great bu when are you going to add XMS support?
- A: To DMP, never! Accessing XMS from a real mode program is way too
- slow to use in an application like DMP. I will create a totally
- new player using Watcom C/C++, that will run in 386 protected
- mode and can access all the memory you have (like PMP).
