			REVISION HISTORY OF DMP
			-----------------------

Version 2.31	Bugfixes				March 16th, 1993
		New features
		* DSMI IS AVAILABLE *

	- Some bugs with false PAS detections are now fixed
	+ You can shell to DOS with Covox, up to 64kHz!!
	* DSMI is finally available! Read the README file for
	  additional info...

*** ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ***

Version 2.30	Bugfixes				March 6th, 1993
		Covox support is back!
		Faster

	- DMP 2.20 failed to load any 15 instrument MODs. Now fixed.
	+ Support for Covox. Use parameters '-c6' and '-p' to enable
	  Covox (DAC) support at any port address. See revision entry
	  for 1.41 for additional info... Covox supports rates up to
	  44kHz.
	  NOTE: Covox support doesn't work well if you have a memory
	  manager like EMM386 or QEMM386 installed.
	+ On a 386SX (or other non-cached 386) DMP should be about 10%
	  faster :)
	* Thanks for Pieter Immelman for helping out with UNIX
	  mail-listserver for DSMI/DMP

*** ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ***

Version 2.20	Bugfixes				March 4th, 1993
		New features

	- Some internal bugs fixed...
	+ Support for 6 and 8 channel FastTracker MODs
	+ You can now use an envrionment variable DMP to specify often
	  used command line arguments, for example:
	  SET DMP=-s30 -m -o
	+ Volume can be changed with + and -
	- UMB support is gone :-( Use PMP (Protected Module Player) to
	  play REALLY large modules
	* Changed the method for detecting Pro Audio Spectrum cards.
	  Please test on PAS and PAS+

*** ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ***

Version 2.11	MOD loader bugfix			February 22nd, 1993

	- Some MODs used highly NON-STANDARD period values, so the
	  change I made in version 2.02 caused erranous loading. Now
	  the loader should handle any MOD.

*** ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ***

Version 2.10    ProTracker tempo support                February 21st, 1993

	+ Support for ProTracker's extended tempos has been added.
	  Both regular and ProTracker-tempo (in BPM) are now shown on
	  screen.
	- Some minor bugfixes.

*** ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ***

Version 2.02	Bugfixes				February 15th, 1993

	- Bug in the MOD loader caused erranous volumes when instrument
	  changed.
	- When using a 16-bit soundcard, DMP could cause machine lock-up
	  if a 386-program was run in DOS shell. Now it won't.
	- Help screen showed wrong information about '-u' switch

*** ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ***

Version 2.01	UMB support defaults to DISABLED	February 9th, 1993
		Bugfix

	- Because of the many reports of memory problems with UMB
	  options, it now is disabled by default.
	  Use '-u' to ENABLE it, previously that switch DISABLED it!
	- Pausing module with 'P' caused computer to lock up with
	  a SB Pro. Now it's fixed.

*** ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ***

Version 2.0     DMPMT and DMP combined into one .EXE    February 7th, 1993

	* DMPMT no longer exist as a separate executable as it's
	  functionality has been embedded into DMP.EXE. DMP now
	  automatically detects DesqView and Windows and changes
	  to DMPMT mode if either is detected. You can also force
	  DMPMT mode with '-t' parameter which also accepts
	  buffer size like '-t30000'.

*** ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ***

Version 1.95    UMB support                             February 6th, 1993

	+ DMP fully utilizes all available upper memory. Now you have
	  more memory available in DOS shell and you can also load
	  bigger modules.

*** ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ***

Version 1.91á	MOD loader bug fix			February 5th, 1993

	- A bug in the module loader, caused infinite loops if trying
	  to load a corrupted module. Now DMP prompts wheather or not
	  to play the module.

*** ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ***

Version 1.90á	Support for SB16, PAS+ and PAS16	February 3rd, 1993
		Many bugs fixed
		386 support

	+ 386 instruction set is now fully utilized. Which means that DMP
	  won't run on a 286 anymore.
	+ DMP is now the only module player capable of playing modules
	  with 16-bit accuracy. On a SB16 or PAS16 DMP uses a new mixing
	  routine that calculates at 16 bits. This gives you a lot clearer
	  sound. Also a new mode, Quality mode, is introduced for 8-bit
	  cards.
	+ DMP is now a lot faster...
	- Numerous bugs were fixed. Can't remember what bugs, though. :-)
	- Support for DACs is removed, because of non-functionality.
	- No more blue backgrounds after exiting (this wasn't a bug, but
	  some people didn't like it...)
	! Special thanks to Pirkka Palosaari for lending his SB16 ASP.

*** ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ***

Version 1.41    DAC support                             December 2nd, 1992

	+ Added support for general DACs. Try port value 378 (LPT1)
	  If you want to have fun, use port values 3C9,3C0,3C2,61
	  (BTW, it took about two hours to add support for DACs... :-)

*** ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ***

Version 1.4     8-channel support                       December 2nd, 1992

	+ StarTrekker 8-channel MODs are now supported. If you have
	  information about other 8+ channel formats, please send it to me.
	+ Some internal changes to ease the way to Covox support in upcoming
	  versions...

*** ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ***

	- Fixed a bug in arpeggio command
	- There was a serious bug with SB Pro when playing at >20KHz

*** ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ***

Version 1.33	Bug fixes				November 16th, 1992

	- Fixed the fine tune. Old versions played worse than versions

	  fine tunes.
	- Also fixed a bug in portamento command.

*** ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ***

Version 1.32    Faster!                                 November 15th, 1992
		New feature

	+ DMP is now faster than ever... just believe me!
	+ I've added "the-most-wanted-feature": pattern jump!!!
	  Just press B to break to next pattern...
	- I might have fixed some bugs too, don't know for sure though....

*** ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ***

Version 1.31    Bug fixes                               November 2nd, 1992

	+ Support for more octaves (0-4) in MODs, because some PC MOD-editors
	  (notably ModEd) support these octaves.
	+ Now DMP also loads StarTrecker modules
	+ DMP now supports AMF modules and includes a program to convert
	  STM or MOD formats into AMF.

                Bugfixes

        + All sound output handling goes through SDI now,
	  (SDI = Sound Device Interface) which allows me to add support
	  for new sound cards easily by writing a new SDI!!
        - There was a killer bug in the buffer calculation routine, but
	  it only occured under very specific conditions. Finally fixed!

*** ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ***

                Bugfixes

        - STMs and MODs are now played exactly the same, so
          original Scream Tracker modules play a little bit too

        - a bug in the volume table caused cracks in voice. Corrected.
        + DMA-buffer's size reduced to 1024 (2048 before) so that
          notes on-screen would better match the playing voice.
