-------------------------------------------------------------
PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE CONTINUING!

is now much easier to use than before, more portable and can

documentation and all libraries are included also in compiled
form to decrease compilation problems. Multitracker modules are
now supported, and you can use MIDAS with Borland Pascal 7 in
protected mode.
Read MIDAS.DOC before continuing. It contains instructions on
how to compile the examples and some other important
information. Also read the example source code through and make
sure you understand what is done.
The SRC\ directory contains all the source code for MIDAS Sound
System. Included is also full source code for MIDAS Module
Players. All necessary make scripts (*.mak files) are also
included in the source directory. The MIDAS Sound System source
code includes a lot of information on how to use the system, and
you should check there first if you run intro problems.
Especially important is the simplified MIDAS Programming
Interface, MIDAS.*. Read the header file through before

More documentation will be available on later releases.
Not all the features are tested. Especially, we have
