Subject: 3.53 Windows Wave Driver Problem

Ack!  I got the 3.53 install disks and installed them.  Everything is
working fine EXCEPT my start-up sound gets either a)distorted or b)turned
into meaningless repeating garbage until I play another sound.  I would think
it to be some problem with keeping up with playing a WAV and loading up windows.
and the 4k buffer limit cannot be expanded to facilitate a large loading of
the sound.  Wav's play fine in windows and my other system sounds play fine.
I have tried the startup sound as several differet WAV's (long and short)
with the same result happening.  I'm using DMA 5 and have had no problems like
this ever with the old drivers.  Everything else seems to work fine...Any ideas
???

BTW, I tried this the other night. It caused the Rational DOS4GW DOS
extender to crap out. I'm gonna try going back to the older one I still
have lying around and see if that fixes it. For now, I'm back to 63K and
voices that cut off. Sierra's gonna get another call. Please post if you've
got this working...

My GUS and XM3401 internal used to work fine together, now when I load my

when the machine is rebooting and when ultrinit.exe is loading.

Subject: Epic Pinball & GUS

Hello!
 
When playing Epic Pinball with the GUS I get the sound fx much louder
than the music. If I use my SBPro instead, the volumes are well
balanced. Anybody with a similar problem? I think that if I could find
a decent DOS-based mixer for the GUS, it could solve this problem.
Any suggestions?
 
Thanks,
  Snoopy.

Thanks to everyone who sent me this information, however this is *not* the
problem for the Gateway Pentiums.  I have personally tried it (v8.2) and it
does not work.  Also, the latest mouse driver is v9.01, which I'm told is the
bugfix version for v9.0.

It looks as though Dell Pentiums may have the same problem with SBOS.
According to Gateway, both Gateway and Dell get their motherboards directly
from Intel.  I heard from one person with a Zeos Pentium who doesn't have a
problem with SBOS and the PS/2 port.  Perhaps Intel should contract the P6
out to Zeos...

			  *** ANNOUNCING: A NEW APOGEE SHAREWARE VGA GAME ***
						  ** COMING JUNE 1st, 1994 **
	 ======================================================================
					   Hocus Pocus - A Game by Mike Voss
						 (c) 1994 Apogee Software, Ltd.

STORY
=====
Terexin, leader of the Council of Wizards, is sending the young sorcerer,
Hocus, on a special mission to prove his worthiness.  This mission will take
Hocus to 16 unique realms, each filled with unique dangers and enemies.
Few have survived the Terexin's final test--for many it's a one-way trip.

Along the way Hocus will encounter dragons, imps, ghosts and 30 more unique
creatures, demons and enemies.  Survive, and Hocus becomes a full-fledged,
card carrying Wizard.  The other option is not so favorable.

Awesome and beautiful 256-color VGA graphics.  After every two levels of play
the level graphics, background and enemies completely change, giving this
game unparalleled variety.  Hocus Pocus is a action platform game, with
exciting puzzles built into each level's structure.

Hocus is armed with a standard magic spell (he's not yet a full Wizard,
after all), but he can find several potions that give him a temporary boast
of magical energy.  There are potions that give Hocus the ability to shoot
rapidly, jump higher, teleport and fire a devastating energy blast, among
others.

FEATURES
========

* Smooth 360 degree scrolling, with a parallax background.
* Over SIX MEGS of 256-color VGA animated graphics.
* Four episodes with 36 huge levels!
* Over 30 different monsters, plus four huge bosses!
* Incredible new Apogee sound engine, with a dozen theme songs during play.
   - multi-channel sound effects, with up to 8 effects playing at once!
   - supports (natively) all major sound cards including:
	 Gravis UltraSound, SoundBlaster/Pro/16, Pro Audio Spectrum 16,
	 AdLib, Wave Blaster, Sound Man 16, Disney Sound Source,
	 Tandy Sound Source, Sound Canvas, and General Midi.
   - individual control of music and sound effects volume.
* Save/restore options, selectable skill levels, four cheat passwords!
* Supports keyboard play & joysticks.  The game also works with your
  Gravis Gamepad!

REQUIREMENTS
============
* 386SX or better, plus 567K (580,000 bytes) free RAM.
* Sound card highly recommended
* Joystick recommended
* VGA graphics

Hocus Pocus is an addictive, action-packed, entertaining game that's
comparable, or better than, anything found on the home cartridge systems.

Phoenix Beta Test Application

If you are interested in taking part in a beta test of this 
revolutionary new product, you may fill out the questionnaire that 
follows and return it to us by May 31st, 1994.  We are looking for all 
levels of computer skills from novice to advanced.  An effective method 
of contact ability is critical for our coordination of product fixes and 
improvements. 
You must have the means to periodically receive software upgrades via an 
electronic mail system.  If you think that you would be able to spend 
some time testing this new product with your favorite game software, 
then we would like to consider you for this exciting new joystick 
experience.

The Phoenix Flight & Weapons Control System heralds a new generation in 
joystick controllers for the PC flight simulation and air combat 
enthusiast.

The ultimate in flight and weapons control systems for the PC, the 
Phoenix provides analog and digital throttle and rudder controls in 
addition to 46 independent, user defined, button functions.

Unlike the other flight control products, the Phoenix requires no 
special software support in the computer program other than that for a 
basic PC joystick.  This means that the Phoenix is plug 'n play 
compatible with the latest flight and space combat games and virtually 
all flight games currently on the market.

The Phoenix comes with everything required to get the computer flight 
jockey airborne quickly and hassle free.  An installation program 
performs a thorough system diagnostic to ensure that the computer is 
free of common installation problems and that the Phoenix is correctly 
installed.  A DOS based configuration program provides a Windows like 
graphical user interface that allows you to easily program each of the 
Phoenix buttons to execute any conventional game command including 
joystick 
buttons and keyboard commands.

The Phoenix Flight & Weapons Control System includes:

o Analog an digital throttle and rudder control o 46 independent, and 
fully programmable buttons o Navigational control arm
o Aileron and elevator control o Graphical user interface

The Phoenix is compatible with all current IBM PC game and sound cards 
and is covered by our 1 year Limited Warranty.  Analog rudder and 
throttle require a game port with dual joystick support.

Subject: Re: Konstanz died and nobody cares...

Yup.... everything is happening at once. Validation problems,
EPAS running out of space, and now we filled wuarchive as well.

Due to the popularity of GUS and all the support we've been
getting, our European site konstanz will no longer be available
because it was too much of a load on there system. The admin
at that site have closed down the GUS archive.

BUT have no fear, we are looking at alternatives. The fellow
who started the GUS archive on this site (not the admin) is
also looking at alternatives. So we may have some good news
pretty soon.

But in some ways, I'm glad to see what GUS is getting so
popular that we've brought down 3 systems in 2 days! :)

Stay tuned for more info to come....

Subject: New Win drivers, flaky startup sound

My Windows startup sound has been Jazz from Wing Commander 2: "You got it,
maestro."  However, after upgrading to the 3.53 Windows drivers, the startup
sound gets clipped to "You got ... stro."  The shutdown sound is unaffected
however.  This leads me to believe that the driver is fiddling with some
thing it shouldn't be.  What happens is that in the middle of the playback,
the sound is suddenly advanced about a seconds worth...  I am using the
default settings for the Ultrasound.

Has anyone else experienced this phenomenon, or did some fluke error pop
up?

The problem with the UMC chips are with 16-BIT DMA. For me, this caused 
Windows to crash like a big dog. The solution is to use 8-bit DMA which only 
slows down patch loading a bit.

And the best way to check to see if it works is just to use the 16-bit DMA. 
If you get crashes, then use an 8-bit dma.....

There is a hardware fix, but I'm told that it's only for the brave of heart....

I just got a confirmation from the Gravis tech guys that Jayeson IS working 
on a protected mode Megaem, but it will still require a EMS manager to run.....

Oh, and has anyone noticed that the new windows drivers crash whever another 
shell is used besides the program manager (progman.exe). I get GPF's all

 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hello all. I've finally finished validating new files for the GUS
Internet Archives for Thursday, May 27th, 1994.

Sorry it took so long. Going through 72Mb of files took longer than I
expected. I shouldn't have waited this long but I was not available for a
month or so. And yes, once again, the amount of contributions per month
have exceeded my expectations. I didn't expect to see 72Mb of files in
less than 2 months. I'm both delighted to see GUS's support growing
faster and faster, and yet dismayed at the growing amount of work that
goes along with such growth in popularity. :)

Back to the business at hand.....


NOTE TO ALL UPLOADERS! 
======================

To all who are trying to upload more files to EPAS, yes, we have once
again ran out of room. Anyone want to donate a 100 Gig drive to the
cause? :) I'm only kidding of course, the donation part. But I am caught
speechless as far as the growth of popularity and support is concerned.
For those who have been following our archive threw the last several
years, the growth of GUS file submissions have exceeded our predictions
time and time again. In fact, so much so that we have reached the limits
of EPAS time and time again. During our last round of reconfiguration,
we have already limited and defined EPAS as the submission and newly
validated files site only. That indeed did gave us room to spare. But
now we're getting 70+MB per validation period. And in fact, over the
past 2 weeks while I'm validating the current batch of files, I've
noticed that we now have a new batch of files all of 40Mb worth already.
Eeks! Now notice that EPAS is the only site with such limitations. All
other GUS Internet Archives have the full archive. And even those sites,
we'll probably be looking at how many megs (gigs?) a full archive does
take up and might need to cutback the older files in another couple of
years time, if our submissions are mushrooming the way it is right now.

But anyway, back to EPAS. We are looking at clearing more room. So no
worries, mate. But I'll probably have to get onto validating the next
batch of files sooner than I'd wanted to. ie. probably in about a week
or so. So if you are the type that like to grab files from EPAS so that
you can do a "mget *" for newly validated files only, grab them within a
week cause these files will probably be deleted and be replaced by the
next batch of files. So that I can clear up even more room from EPAS.


NOTES TO ALL:
=============

The newly validated files are now in EPAS in their appropriate
directories. Please give the rest of the GUS Internet Archive sites 24
hours to get updated.

If you catch any mistakes and/or typos, please let me know!
Thanks. <twong@civil.ubc.ca>

NOTE: Because of the disk full problem, the file "tecnovox.zip"
in ".../sound/wav/files" was not copied correctly. This should be
resolved by the morning. Otherwise, you can still grab this file from
the mirror of the submit directory from the other (non EPAS) sites.


Here is the validation list:

NOTES:

SPECIAL NOTES TO ALL UPLOADERS:
 ------------------------------

I've noticed that someone has been fooling around with the files in
the submit directory again. We are in the process of tracking down the
[fill in your favorite swear word] since all activities are logged!
It took me 2 weeks to go through and try out all the files. But by
the end of these 2 weeks, a number of the files I was testing were
already gone. Remember, WE WILL TRACK YOU DOWN. And you WILL BE
REPORTED. We left read and write access in the submit directory for
everyone's convenience. If you abuse this privilege, we won't be too
kind to you, nor will other users of our archives.

To all uploaders, please continue to upload to the submit directory
so that people can get access to your files before I've had a chance
to validate them. But should you find that your upload is not listed
anywhere above while you have uploaded the file before I started my
validation (ref. my validation commencement annoucement). Please send
me an email and let me know. I'll personally take care of your file.
Thanks.



NEW SUBDIRECTORIES:
-------------------

Due to the popularity of several new sound formats, the following
subdirectories have been newly created:

 ../sound/far/files
 ../sound/far/util

 ../sound/mtm/files
 ../sound/mtm/util

 ../sound/s3m/files
 ../sound/s3m/util

 ../sound/ult/files
 ../sound/ult/util

I'm still in the processes of moving some of the older files from
 ../sound/misc into these newly created directories. Please bear with
me.

Misc Notes to uploaders:
------------------------

awe32*.* - nothing to do with GUS. This is the GUS archive.
doommenu2.zip, doomld2.zip - Nothing to do with GUS
gusmag.zip - already have it with name uss0001.zip under .../misc
lha.exe - these utils can be found in other parts of our ftp sites
musicbox.zip - doesn't work with GUS, and not for GUS anyway
okjuke.zip - Not a GUS program
pongkomb.zip - Not a GUS game
splay100.zip - Not a GUS program
tss.zip - doesn't work. Blank screen and crashes
ult.* - Can't play since these files need UltraTracker 1.5 but the only
		version available at our site and in other sites is 1.4


Files that are corrupt and needs to be re-uploaded:

cyberp.zip, mcosm11.exe, mfdeep.zip, zakfov10.zip



OK, that's it. I'll cut this short cause I still of tons to do.

Happy GUS'ing!



Thomas.

Subject: XMI to MID converter?

Greetings!
 
Does anybody know of a XMI to MID format converter? Or maybe someone
could send me the descriptions of these formats so I could write a
program myself. I think it should be easy to do.
 
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
 
Thanks,
  Snoopy.

From: FLAT^^TOP <kohkhang@iscs.nus.sg>

Hello

I am having problems with the Windows Drivers which come with the new v3.53
install disks.

I have the rev3.7 GUS card with 1MB on board (220,7,7,11,7)
My machine is a 486dx2/66 VLB with 16Mb RAM.

I used previously the v3.11 install disks, the windows drivers for GUS worked 
perfectly fine with my Windows for Workgroups 3.11 and NDW 3.0 shell setup.

Now with the new v3.53 windows drivers, windows will not even boot up. NDW will
give a GPF with the Ultrasnd.drv file and i will get kicked out of windows.
when the shell for ndw was removed, and progman put in place, windows
booted up, until the opening wav was to be played then HANG !!!!!

Is there any solutions for this problem ? The old driver work fine, so i would
expect some problems with the new driver....

please reply soon.

thanks

Jerry Koh
