Can anyone who knows about these things tell me why the archive site
is always referred to as archive.epas.utoronto.ca, whilst to get
anywhere, I have to use klingon.epas.utoronto.ca???

I have downloaded some of the Windows MIDI programs from the above
archive. All is well except for MIDI Monitor 2.01. This comes as an
EXE and two DLLs. It just won't run for me - won't even produce a
window. I don't think it's anything trivial, like not having the
DLLs in the PATH, so has anyone any ideas?

I've just thought of something else. What MIDI controller messages
does the GUS respond to? Does anyone have a list?

Strange.. I installed dos 6, and suddenly wing commander 2 doesn't fry
on my machine, but ultima7 stutters.  Don't know about U7 part 2.

Any similar experiences, anyone?

I'm also in the process of creating c header files for the turbo pascal gus library... I'll release that on epas when I'm finished.

Michael..

i just got this game for my pc, and i've tried using SBOS v1.42b on it with
almost all of the options, i get the digitized sound, but none of the
background noise the booklet talks about, like a heartbeat, and noise from
when the computer is attacking my land.

i didn't see this game listed in the sbos flag list, so if anyone has any info
about this, please e-mail me.

btw, the game supports soundblaster exclusively; no adlib or PAS suuport (or
GUS 8( )

thanks,
alex

Don't know if this post from AOL's Sierra forum has made it's way to the
digest or not, but it would seem to be good news for all you Sierra fans.

The GUS will most likely become a major player in the field of sound cards,
but it will take a little more time. I'm sure we will be supporting the card
in the near future.

Thanx,

Bill :})

Hello All --

Just had a couple of questions:

First, what are these Miles drivers I saw talked about earlier? There seems
to be a lot of interest in them, and I'm curious.

Second, is there, or will there ever be, a way to have the GUS work with
general MIDI? I noticed X-wing had general MIDI support, and it seemed as
though it would be nice.

Probably really simple questions, but I still rather new to the Gravis.

Thanks!

UltraSound Daily Digest. Would the culprits please go and waste
evryone's time in a group or digest more suited to the purpose!!
