After about two days of tinkering around with winsetup.inf, I gave up and installed the Windows stuff manually. I think the reason is because I have DR DOS, as I haven't seen many posts with this particular problem. Anyway, I recently got the AIL drivers and first tried them on Dune 2. After running the patch, I tried to run the game. Ultramid seemed to take a long time to run, I hope that's normal. But when I got to the game, only digitized stuff came out, no music. I read the docs again and found that I needed 600k to run. Since only half of Ultramid loaded high, I had only 575k left. I was left with the assumption that no music came out because I didn't have enough memory. Also, I gave the game 1700k of extended memory, is that too much? I would dearly love to use some of that memory for a disk cache. Yesterday I d/led 1gate14.zip from klingon. Since this game needed only 570k,I assumed that music would come out. Well, I assumed wrong. All I got was a lot of pops and static, but no music. Can anyone point out the reason? Thanks for your help. -- Rodney Chang - 1i.p06 "`"c"a"V"T"O"\!]"b"[!^ "S"f"^"]"a!@!.!@"\"]"`"R"W"_"c"S"a!@"U"]!@"U"]!@"U"]!D!D!D ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 29 Jul 93 0:16:04 CDT From: Robert Schmanski Subject: Archive Lists/Back Digests Message-ID: <9307290516.AA12582@mixcom.mixcom.com> Hi, I just have two quick requests. Could who ever is in charge of the archives please update the 00Index.ALL file. I have to request all my files via ftpmail or the digest server, and it is imperitive that I know exactly what is there before I request it. Also, could someone please archive (I mean zip/arj/lha/(or otherwise compress/combine) volumes 2 and 3 of the digest. Requesting each file individually would be a real pain (unless someone knows how to request a large number of files via ftpmail/digest server) Thanks a lot! -- Bob Schmanski Email Adress: Robert.Schmanski@mixcom.com or: bschmans@solaria.mil.wi.us ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 30 Jul 1993 10:01:41 +1000 From: Peter.Enzerink@FINANCE.ausgovfinance.telememo.au Subject: Betrayal at Krondor?

NEED HELP! Message-ID: <199307292138.AA27525@johanna4.hsr.no> I just installed p669v105. It looked very good, I liked what it did and it sounded just like the old 669 player (the quickie hack). BUT... When i try to quit the program it locks up and the last tone being played never stops. What is wrong? Is it me, or is it a general fault? My settings are 220,1,1,11,7.

Message-ID: <9307291706.AA04654@smos.bc.ca> Well, I finally got the infamous tremstr patch error from playmidi (cause I got a hold of awesome.zip). I looked back through the digests for the fix, which was to change the ultrasnd.ini entry from 44=tremstr.pat to 44=marcato.pat. I had a look in my ultrasnd.ini: No sign of tremstr.pat on Any patch number. Hmm. Maybe I have an old ultrasnd.ini lying around somewhere.... (where is unix find when I need it!!) Nope: can't find any spare ultrasnd.ini files... Hmm, I though midi files specified patches by number, but I'll look into the midifile (g.mid FYI). I use mf2t to turn g.mid into g.txt. Nope, no name tremstr in there, just a patch call to patch 44.. OK, I create a new midi file of one note using winjammer with a patch change event of 44, yep, It works fine in winjammer, playmidi blows up on it. Finally, I go into c:\ultrasnd\midi .. No tremstr.pat here. OK, try cp marcato.pat tremstr.pat (where are unix soft links when I need em??) That fixes it!!! So the remaining question: why does playmidi insist on the name tremstr.pat when patch 44 is requested? Is the name tremstr built into playmidi.exe?? or is there another file somewhere hiding with tremstr in it!! I'm only curious at this point since I found a workaround. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 29 Jul 93 08:18:31 -0400 From: wrm@ee.WPI.EDU Subject: Samplevision Compatability?

Message-ID: <9307292111.AA06617@grue> [This message is being sent to all the lists I maintain. If you are multiple lists, you're going to get multiple copies. Live with it.] I'm going to be out of town (at SIGGRAPH, actually... if you are going, let me know... it would be nice to meet some of you) and away from the mailing lists until August 9th. You folks are all big grown-up list users now, so Mom and I decided it's okay to leave you alone for the week. (Now watch us get hauled off to jail like that couple from Chicago. :) The emergency numbers are by the phone, there's a lot of food in the pantry... If any trouble comes up, deal with it. If anything REAL bad comes up, mail to postmaster@dsd.es.com. This is only in the worst case scenario though; their solution will be to just shut all the lists down until I get back (and then I might not be allowed to turn them back on). Have fun while I'm gone. You can have friends over, but no big parties. Ahem... Mike? Yes, you. Mr. Biesele. Pay attention. (Inside joke.
