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

Version  1.19
		 New DSMI version !- optimization at the Party IV
		 for Gravis
Version  1.17							12/15/1994

		 Optimized display for 386 with new option FAST DISPLAY
		 (on 486dxư, you won't see any difference, because the 
		 displaying has already reach the maximum speed :) 
		 New GDI, more colorful and bitmapped windows.
		 New mouse support (button attract) : much easier to 
		 manipulater
		 Add icon Mixer on main view
		 Possibility to run RMP in 320x200 window in 640x480 SVGA mode
		 (run with -y option)
		 Renamed files as RealMP (not to confuse with Renaissance
		 Module Player).
		 fixed VESA mode bug (work now on most Cirrus CL546 cards)
		 
Version  1.15                                                     11/18/1994
                 Some optimizations and bugs fixed (again :) )
	         Urgh ! RMP has about 76000 C compiled lines !		 
	         But still beeing a compact program !
	         Database function . Useful for modules swapping.
		 Create a 4DOS descriptions compatible file (DESCRIPT.)
	         so merge it with DESCRIPT.ION. Humm quite slow ...
	         Few change in assembler code (protected mode ready)

Version  1.14                                                     10/24/1994
		 More efficient file manager, can change the name of sample
		 we you rip it.
		 Now SUPER compact program ! (200Kb less in size !)
		 Some bugs fixed in SysInfo.
		 RMP.INI support
		 PC speaker is back ! use -f5 options.

Version  1.13                                                     10/10/1994
		 New CD player, better than the old one. (But cannot found
		 enough doc about CDrom (still uses disassembled DOS cd player)
 		 source !)
		 
Version  1.12    
		 fixed bug with drives (if your drive where A: B: C: D: Z:
		 RMP crashed. now fixed with drive selection moved with file
		 selection.
		 New mixer, rewritten ,handle stereo and fixed bugs with
		 SBpro and other sound card.
		 You can change the background pic.
		 New features : Notes Dots Animation !

Version  1.10    
		 a lot a internal changes (in fact some routines were
		 totally rewritten. Optimisations for speed, memory
		 and size.
		 in debugging mode because doesn't work on some machine.
		 
Version  1.06
		 Rewritten routines in ASM, more memory free

Version  1.04
		 You can re-read CD informations ! 
		 this method is faster than other CD player ! 
		 (in fact I read CD and try to open a file, and
		 this made re-read the CD audio informations !
		 Better security (_hardretn instead of _hardresume).             

Version  1.03
		 New option T32VIDEO (yes, it's very fast but quite buggy yet)
		 Now can rip with or without EMS but not with the GUS
		 You can play samples even when playing the module
		 (played in SURROUND of course !)
Version  1.02    
		 Rewritten program (more modular -> less compilation time).
		 Graphics has changed.
		 New realtime track data implanted.             
		 Pan fixed.
Version  1.01    
		 Hum ! you can run RMP with STACKS=0,0 if you want |)),
		 now RMP should work better on more machine !
		 Thanks to Philippe to lend me his 486DX50 for the week end
		 to test my player and find a lot of bug !
		 Size optimizations > more base memory ! |)
		 Nice ray traced piccy by TOAL KNOR ! quite cool !
Version 1.00     
		 First official release  ;)
		 a very small bug found in XMS manager (SI register)
		 could explain lot of 'plantage' of many computers. |) 
		 so GIF loader can uses XMS and you can view 640x480 gif
		 (supports ACUMOS,AHEAD,ATIvga,CHIPS TECH
		 CIRRUS Logic,COMPAQ,EVEREX,GENOA,NCR,OAK067,PARADISE,     
		 TRIDENT,TRIDENT 8900,TSENG,TSENG ET4000,VIDEO 7 and VESA)
		 (higher resolution release later (800x600 & 1024x768)
		 added -Bxxxx option for EMS (0:no EMs xxxx:size in kb)
		 added -Fx    option for sound card detection see RMP.TXT
		 for more informations.
