README for XGusMix v1.10a

OVERVIEW
========

XGusmix is an X11 audio mixer based on guslib and the GUS driver written by
Perex. This version has about the same funcionality as the ncurses based
gusmix program. Later versions will include more options.

As of version 1.03 TkGusmix is written in the Tcl/Tk language.
Earlier versions were written in XForms. I found it much more interesting to
program in Tcl/Tk :) Also, I think installation will go easier because most
Linux systems already have the necessary Tcl/Tk libraries.

XGusMix was written and tested on:

- ELF Linux 1.3.76 running XFree86-3.1.2D

- Gravis Ultrasound MAX with CS4231A mixer chip and 1MB RAM


COMPILING AND INSTALLING XGUSMIX
=================================

In order to succesfully compile and install xgusmix on your system
you need to have the following tools:

- Tcl/Tk 7.0/4.0 libraries. Most distributions of Linux have these
  libraries standard. If you don't have them on your system already,
  cruise to the nearest Linux archive site and download em.

- The Ultra sound driver

Check the Makefile and if everything looks ok type "make install". If the
compile was succesful the tclgus shell and the xgusmix script are copied
to the /usr/local/bin directory. If you put the tclgus binary in another
directory you should change the first line of the xgusmix script file
to point to the right directory.


TO DO
=====

- Saving/loading of settings (a la Windows gus mixer)
- Write a better README?
- ???
