C) Files in this package.

   This developer information package allows you to develop your own
   applications/drivers that will fully tap the capabilities of the SB AWE32.
   You will get a set full featured libraries based on MIDI messages, and a
   suite of APIs that allow you to exploit the possibilities of downloading
   sound samples using with the on-board DRAM.

   This documentation is divided into four parts dealing with programming
   the SB AWE32 under DOS (both real and protected mode), and under Windows.
   You will also learn how to control the EMU8000 chip onboard the SB AWE32
   via MIDI non registered parameter number. And the last part, the newly
   added Audio Spatialization API.
  
   There are 6 files included in this package:

       README.TXT  -  This file
       ADIP01.ZIP  -  DOS Real & protected mode libraries and sample program.
       ADIP02.ZIP  -  Windows import library, latest Windows drivers,
                      and sample program
       ADIPHLP.ZIP -  Documentation in Windows Help file format
       ADIPPS.ZIP  -  Documentation in Encapsulated PostScript format

   To install the package, unpack the distribution files with directory
   option. For example,

              MD C:\ADIP
              PKUNZIP -D -O ADIP01.ZIP C:\ADIP
              PKUNZIP -D -O ADIP02.ZIP C:\ADIP
              PKUNZIP -D -O ADIPHLP.ZIP C:\ADIP
              PKUNZIP -D -O ADIPPS.ZIP C:\ADIP
