Digital Audio Systems Designs' Module Player 4.0 alpha version 2

This file MUST NOT BE spreaded to anyone. The only place to get this 
archive is from DASDg's Home Page http://www.tit.fi/~icpopa/Welcome.html 
and if you have received this file from somewhere else please contact
your system operator and ask him to remove this archive.

If this version spreads to public BBS's, ftp sites or to someone elses
homepage I *will* *stop* distributing these alpha and later on
beta versions to public use. 


PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING TEXTS!!!!!!! Includes people already
using alpha 1.


NOTE:

    Requires MUI 3.2! Requires EPLs provided with the 3.5b package.


    List files are no longer backward compatible, so if you wish to
    ensure that you can still use the old version, make a backup
    copy of your ENV:dasmp/ drawer and your list files.


    Following files should be located in Config Drawer
    (was in previous versions called 'EPL Config Drawer')

    dasmp.extlib
    dasmp.author


    Default for this directory will be PROGDIR:cfg/ so it might
    be a good idea to make one for yourself.


    DO NOT send me requests of new EPLs and new effects (scopes and such)
    since I already have dozens of suggestions but just haven't had
    time to make any of them. 

    Also this version requires MUI 3.2 and this WILL NOT change, so
    don't request to support older versions. 

    There is no documentation included and using old help file is not
    recommended since so much have changed since the old one.

    Non-English users

    I also suggest that you temporarily rename your dasmp.catalog 
    file to something else for the time being. Using the old catalog
    file is not recommended with this version.


    If you are not sure how to do things mentioned above please
    use the old 3.5b version for the time being and wait for the 
    actual release of 4.0. 

    You should have this kind of directory structure under 
    the directory where DASMP is being run from. Run from WB!

    cfg/
    EPL/
    IOL/
 

KNOWN BUGS:

    I haven't touched the arexx interface so far, so most of the
    arexx commands may crash your Amiga, be warned!

    IOL thingy doesn't actually do anything right now, so don't try
    to do anything with it.


    Some parts of the new authoring system are still disabled.

    
    Don't use the clipboard feature, it is still in a stage where
    it WILL cause infinite loop when copying archived files to it.


THINGS TO COME:


    Grouping system will change somewhat (or will it? How about
    some feedback, I may remove the whole system if no one
    uses it)

    Scope and samplex will be moved to IOL files. 

    Drag&Drops for lists. 

    Help bubbles.

    Lots of smaller things I have in my mind. 



READ:

    Please do not judge this program according to this particular release, 
    it IS NOT RELEASE version nor is it even close to be ready.
