A: No. I will only add support for formats that can be edited/created on PC computers. Q: When I try to use a DAC with DMP, the machine hangs. What is wrong? A: You are probably using some memory manager like EMM386 or QEMM. These programs cause great overhead for DAC/PC speaker play routine and if the overhead is too big, the machine will hang. Q: I can't get DMP to play through my PC speaker (or LPT DAC system) with higher frequencies than 10kHz. A: You have probably installed some 386 memory manager like EMM386 or QEMM386. These programs induce great overhead for DAC playing and should not be used with DMP when playing through these devices. Q: DMP doesn't seem to work under OS/2? A: True, OS/2 doesn't support the DMA mode DMP uses to transfer data. 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 listserv@oliver.sun.ac.za 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: I can't handle the size of the mail from DMP-LIST. Is there any other way to get information on DMP updates? A: You can also join another DMP list, called DMP-talk. This list is intended for discussion about DMP and it is also used for notifying about new DMP releases. 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. Use DMP/32, player using Watcom C/C++, which runs in 386 protected mode and can access all the memory you have (like PMP).
