- Ameblast is written as a skeleton for other sound card adaptation.
- It is released with full sources and is FREEWARE. Only give me a credit in
- your source if you use it or improve it.
- This means that you can do what you want with it and i am not responsible
- of anythings if it damages something in your computer (this will be surprising)
- or with any other consequences.
-
- Many sources come from different sources and authors with files ftp'ed
- on internet. Thank's to all.
-
- Sorry, i have not enough time to comment the code.
- You can find an example of the client side in the KaraDos product itself.
-
- Compiled with Borland 3.1 in compact model, i include the c0c.obj file
- because i have modified the assembler of this module in order to
- include the signature at the start of the code and i don't know if i have
- the right to release the source from Borland.
