Does anyone know anything about this binary?
It seems to be an assembly language include that plays some types of music file in Qbasic.

Has anyone here successfully included it in any of their prods?
It seems a lot, and I mean a lot smaller than Fmod.

I'll have a look at the CVS at sourceforge for ya, if theres any info on it. I must confess i've not heard of it ( excuse the pun )

Bells and whistles. I am really interested about this lib for one reason. This recent demo from Plasma is a quickbasic dos demo but the music still plays well under WindowsXP in my PC!!! That single one reason made me thinking about coding a new quickbasic demo with sound. Though, one mod file I really was thinking to include didn't seem to work well with it (Changing it with the original in Plasma's demo. Other mods worked). I'll check again in the future. Maybe that's the only reason that makes me thinking of coding yet another quickbasic demo with sound this time. Maybe my last one. Sometimes I miss that old quickbasic blue interface and the classic VGA stuff, now I had my reason, a lib that can even play sound in XP

. How is this possible, a dos quickbasic programm and a music lib to play well under XP?

We need more dudes like that (please invite), what a corker of a demo.

Perhaps this lib works with 4 track modules that use midi samples, other then wav etc.

Cheers,
Clyde.

I'm wondering whether the lib can be made to work with Freebasic?

Did you ever manage to get anywhere with this one dude?

Ah Bells, Whistles and Sound Boards. Great lib that allowed for mod music in a few QB demos. You can download it at http://www.petesqbsite.com/downloads/sound.shtml. I think it was written mostly in C and Assembly but you could use it in any language from QB, Pascal to C. You should be able to use it in FB dos without problems not sure otherwise.

Cheers Cirux, to be honest I hadn't even tried to include it yet but it's good to know that theoretically it should be possible.
