SampleZ V0.12alpha  by Rainer 'No.3' Müller
==================

After over 4 years of SampleE, the program got bigger and bigger and the code
got more and more messy. So a major code cleanup is neccessary. Because that
and the reason that the current SampleE hasn't much in common with the first
Aminet version I decided to stop SampleE and start a new project called
SampleZ.

SampleZ was meant to base very heavy on SampleEs code. But after some smaller
code cleanups/changes I came upon several things which to change in an existing
and working program is nearly impossible. So I decided to stop SampleZ at his
point (V0.12alpha)  and COMPLETELY REWRITE 50-75% of the code !!!!  Only the
sample-editing parts of the code will be taken from SampleE.

As this rewriting of the code will take much time and SampleZ has already some
new working features, I decided to share SampleZ V0.12alpha with you.

But keep your eyes open for the Final-Version of SampleZ !


NEWS and CHANGES compared to SampleE V4.08

 - better implementation of the progressbar -> needs less cpu
 - new and better moving bar during playback + display of the time
  -> AHI:   bar + time update now 8 times per second (instead of 4)
  -> Paula: bar + time update now 4 times per second (instead of 2)
 - read (WAVE-) MPEG-Audio files using mpega.library V2+
 - read uncompressed AIFC files
 - opens its window on Workbench-, Own- and new: Default-Public-Screen
 - moved several, often needed functions into a "support"-library
   -> main-program and io-librarys are much smaller now

and several internal changes, which won't be recognized by the user :-)

SampleZ should be as stable as the latest SampleE, afterall its a aplha version

I included the last SampleE-Guide as the usage of SampleZ is exactly the same.


Use SampleZ at your own risk. I am not responsible for any damage which may be
caused by using this program.
SampleZ is PostCard-Ware, so you must send me a PostCard of the city/area you
come from if you use this program.
