Hello Evry1,

Just to announce that a new version (v0.8) of my filemanager/shell for
DJGPP is out.

You can find it here :

If you have anything to say, e-mail me at

Whats new :

v0.80:
any wav-file can be played now (8-bit/16-bit/mono/stereo/big/small)
I use this to play recorded CD-tracks and apply some real-time
audio-effects
like changing speed and panning.
thanks to Shawn Hargreaves for his support

limited voc-file support, mono 8-bit, CT-Block Type 1 (8 bit mono) and
Type 9
(8/16 bit mono unpacked)
this is a limit of the Allegro-lib

added the -Wall and -W compiler switches to report warnings, and
changed the
source-code so that there are none
I think every coder should do this !

redesigned the screen-FX engine (many new effects and new keys, F1-F12
(0-9))
new effects thanks to :
David Lenhart (see.exe F5 : 8, 9 : earth rotation)
Scott Scriven from XYZZ (very comprehensive text about image
filtering) (see.exe F11 : 0-9)
Michael Bevin (see.exe F12 : 0-9 : wormhole, plasma, slimy texture)

in see.exe you can now go from one image in a directory to another
simply by pressing left and right. This avoids the switching between
text-mode
and graphical mode when browsing images. (thanks Konstanty for your
remark)

in see.exe the format of the image is internally converted when you go
into
effect mode

now hear.exe uses the JGMOD-library of Jeffery Guan Foo Wah for
playing .MOD/.S3M/.XM
and extracting samples of them

the loginname is not more asked at the start of mi.exe if the
environment-
variable mi_login is set. Just put (SET mi_login=xxxx) in your
autoexec.bat
with xxxx being your nickname.

C ya,
