If you can't get the DEVCON notes, I am still able to supply that version
of the Audiotools disk: $5.00 plus a blank usable disk or $8.00 and I supply
the disk: DATAPATH, POBox 1828, Los Gatos, CA 95031-1828.

The most important change between version 2 and version 3 (DEVCON/current)
is the addition of the ability to synchronize graphics and sound, by which
the audio device itself sends the user task a message that a particular
note has just begun to play.   Prior to that ability, a programmer might
have found it necessary to produce graphics, and following the graphics
output, send a note request to the audio device.  Certainly a less than
optimal means of synchronization.

And for those of you who DO have the audiotools or DEVCON version, in the
doc file (actually an update of the original Amiga World article, I suggested
8 to 10 additional enhancements that I'd like to see or make happen to the
tools --- anyone out there take that seriously and patched their version
to add these features???  If so, would you care to share it with the rest
of us (by sending such additions to me for redistribution?).  Like reading
SMUS files and other such enhancements.

Just thought I'd ask.
