Just wondering if anyone out there has ported the MIDPAK/DIGPAK driver
interface package over to DJGPP.  They are a set of device drivers for
various sound cards and the interface API modules have been ported to
Borland/Microsoft (real mode) and Watcom (flat mode).

I've been mucking about with them for the past 12hrs or so, and what at 
first seemed to be a rather straightforward port (just translating Intel 
ASM to AT&T ASM) has become something of a nightmare.  I gave up when 
they started talking about allocating DOS memory and loading files on 
page boundaries.  I know C fair enough, but I haven't yet experienced the 
torture of all the little DOS-isms (sheesh - why can't they just have a
plain FLAT architecture without all these little hooks and snags?!? 
Thanks Uncle Bill....)


Anyways, if anyone out there has already ported this kit over to DJGPP, 
I'd really appreciate a copy.  And, if this looks like something that 
interests you (c'mon all you masochists!) lemme know and I'll set ya up
with the development kit.  It's got all the source code, but I honestly 
dont know what the hell I'm looking at.
