Some notes!

- In the main archive there is a directory `HippoPlayerDocs'.  It contains
docs in some other languages than English.

- If you are experiencing strange problems after updating from an old
version (like v2.07 or so), DELETE S:HippoPlayes.prefs!

- Read the doc, there are all kinds of useful information there.



PS3M versus AHI
---------------

AHI is great, for those who have a sound card installed.  Otherwise I
suggest you don't use it.

The paula routines in AHI use interrupt based mixing.  This means that AHI
will always steal CPU time from you.  PS3M uses task based mixing.  Set the
priority low and PS3M will never steal CPU time from you.  It's often
enough for the music to run with the left over CPU time, so you will notice
no system slow down.  The only drawback is that sometimes when the load is
high the music will not play continuously.


About the future
----------------

After finishing my 330 days of military service I moved to my own (small)
apartment and started my studies at the Tampere University of Technology.
I have a PC with a direct internet connection and a high quality sound
card.

I don't have much interest on Amiga anymore.  Not much is not equal to
none, however.  This small amount will probably be used to develop
HippoPlayer.  Nothing major will be done, like MUIfying the user interface,
creating general MIDI support or MP3 player.  That is, unless someone gives
the needed Amiga sources/binaries that I could include in HiP.

I might do an IT support someday..

I've tried several PC modplayers and they all suck, so I think I'll have to
make a HippoPlayer for PC too someday.  It'll use the MIDAS Sound System
for playing modules.  You know, MIDAS by Jarno Paananen who also made PS3M
and The Player 6.1a. 

That's it, I hope I didn't turn everybody down.
