Wow. Er. It seems we've sorta clogged the net.

First off, thanks for the congrats and support! We're tired and

need it. :)

Secondly, to those of you not getting any GUS music, that's because

there's one line I commented out of the game and forgot to put back in

while debugging it last night. Included at the end of this post is a

file to get that to work for you. The file must be named DMXGUS.INI.

It's included at the end of this post. Someone please put this on ftp

sites when the bandwidth comes back. No one's here tonight except me

and I don't know what our account is on AOL, CompuServe, etc., so if

someone could upload this file to these places, I'd appreciate it.

Stick it in your DOOM directory, and when you run doom, run it from

that directory (don't stick c:\doom in your path and run it from

somewhere else). When you start up doom with this, you should notice a

difference. It'll hit the disk after you see the DMX_Init thing in the

DoomOS startup stuff.

Thirdly, we're trying to keep up with the net-posted bugs. We're

trying to get a SoundBlaster 1.0 to our sound guy so that he can

figure out what the deal is (they're not made anymore). Those

V_DrawPatch() errors will take a little while.

The follwing is DMXGUS.INI (uuencoded):
