If you have a question you would like to ask me, check this file first
so that I don't have to answer to so many similar questions.

I have to do my military service from June 10th, 1993 to May 5th, 1994
and during this time I will only be able to work on DMP and other
projects on weekends, so don't except anything fancy in forthcoming DMP
releases.

Q: I have Internet mail access. How can I get new DMP most easily?
A: By joining the DMP mailing list. Just send a message to
[email protected] with following message body
subscribe DMP-LIST Your Name
After joining, you will receive new DMP releases right into
your own mailbox. You also need uudecode utility to extract
DMP.
Q: The left and right channels are reversed on my SB Pro, but if I
press 'F' or 'S' to switch filter/stereo, left and right
channels sometimes switch places.
A: Yes, this is a bug in the SB Pro hardware, but I'm working on
to get the left and right channels go OK in the first place.
There is nothing I could do about those filter/stereo switches.
Q: I'm having troubles with my PAS16. The music is just plain
static, what's going wrong?
A: Problem here is that, for some odd reason, DMP transfers one
single byte before actual music transfer starts, leading to
noise, because the bytes are reversed in 16-bit data. This only
happens with 8-bit DMA, so you should try 16-bit DMA channels
5,6 or 7.
Q: EMS is great bu when are you going to add XMS support?
A: To DMP, never! Accessing XMS from a real mode program is way too
slow to use in an application like DMP. I will create a totally
new player using Watcom C/C++, that will run in 386 protected
mode and can access all the memory you have (like PMP).
Very nice! Thank you for this wonderful archive. I wonder why I found it only now. Long live the BBS file archives!
This is so awesome! 😀 I’d be cool if you could download an entire archive of this at once, though.
But one thing that puzzles me is the “mtswslnkmcjklsdlsbdmMICROSOFT” string. There is an article about it here. It is definitely worth a read: http://www.os2museum.com/wp/mtswslnk/
