=================================
============ Thanks! ============
=================================
First, a big thank you to all the people who help me test and debug this
code. It sometimes gets frustrating to receive hundreds of messages
saying "it doesn't work!", but they are useful all the same...
Andre Baresel (baresel@informatik.hu-berlin.de),
and Craig Jackson (Craig.Jackson@launchpad.unc.edu),
provided a tremendous amount of information about SB hardware.
Benji York (Benji@cookeville.com).
Provided hardware information for the Gravis GamePad Pro.
Charles Mac Donald (cgfm2@hooked.net).
Showed me how to set some cool tweaked VGA and mode-X resolutions.
Charles Sandmann (sandmann@clio.rice.edu),
DJ Delorie (dj@delorie.com),
Eli Zaretskii (eliz@is.elta.co.il),
and everyone else who has contributed to djgpp. I love it.
C. Schwerdtfeger (schwerdt@physics.ubc.ca),
for his help (and enourmous patience!) in getting the SB Pro-I MIDI
driver to work.
Finn Thoegersen, Nordbanevej 3 C, DK-7800 Skive, Denmark.
Most of my SVGA hardware information came from his VGADOC package.
Eric Jorgensen (smeagol@rt66.com).
Varmint's Audio Tools (VAT) gave me many useful ideas about how to play
MIDI files.
Jamie O'Connell (JamieOConnell@msn.com).
Several of the new Adlib drum patches, and the specifications for the
.IBK file format, came from his SBTimbre package.
Jean-Paul Mikkers (mikmak@stack.urc.tue.nl).
MikMod was the source of a lot of information about programming the SB,
and also gave me the idea of dynamically reprogramming the PIT to get a
really high resolution timer.
Joel H. Hunter (jhunter@kendaco.telebyte.com).
His SB library for djgpp is excellent, and helped me a lot.
John Pollard (74723.1626@compuserve.com).
The FM instrument definitions are based on his MID-KIT library.
Kendall Bennett and all the other cool people at SciTech Software.
These guys gave the world UniVBE, the VBE/AF API, and a lot of free
information and example code. Plus they very kindly sent me a copy of the
VBE/AF spec when I wanted one.
Kris Heidenstrom (kheidens@actrix.gen.nz).
His PC timing FAQ was a big help.
Mark Feldman.
It goes without saying that the PCGPE was an invaluable resource.
Michael Abrash.
You just gotta love that man...
Paul Fenwick (bg914@freenet.carleton.ca).
Various bits of the mode-X code (notably the split screen stuff) came
from his XLIBDJ library.
powerjaw (powerjaw@dnai.com).
Sent me a Sidewinder gamepad so I could fix some problems with the driver
for it. What a cool thing to do...
Robert Grubbs (rwgrubbs@vt.edu).
Provided hardware information for the Sidewinder joypad.
Robert Schmidt (robert@stud.unit.no).
The register values for the 400x* mode-X resolutions came from his TWEAK
program.
Tom Grandgent (tgrand@canvaslink.com).
Organised and hosted the Allegro mailing list. Hurrah!
Vladimir Arnost (xarnos00@dcse.fee.vutbr.cz).
Provided hardware specs for the OPL3 chip.
Frank Zappa, Mike Keneally, Pink Floyd, the Doors, Tori Amos, and all the
other great musicians who provide me with things to listen to while I am
programming.
My parents, John and Nancy.
I would never have made it through all those late night coding sessions
without the cafetiere they gave me last Christmas :-)
