Hi,

can anybody give me a comparison between the MIDAS and Seal Sound
libraries for DJGPP.

I have used the free SoundBlaster Lib but it only supports one card
type and is a bit squeeky sometimes. Since I want to produce a 
semi-professional shareware game I need something better.

Seal and MIDAS both offer good hardware and software support.

Seal should cost 60$ for a license to produce shareware products.
MIDAS will take from 500$ to 2000$ depending on the amount of sold
copies.

So far its 1:0 for Seal. Any advantages for MIDAS which I should know ?

Henrik
