<p><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">In
1995 I created the <a href="http://leonard.oxg.free.fr/stsound.html">YM
file format and wrote ST-Sound</a>, a program to play ATARI-ST on
your PC. I was very happy to see how ST-Sound was popular. MS-Dos
player at first, I write a Windows player, a winamp and a netscape
plugin. ( then some website use Atari tunes !).</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">And
then time passed and I worked on other stuff. Quite often, some
people asked me to release the source code, and I always answered
that I should clean some code and add license stuff, so I never
take time..</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Now
it's done ! 2005, ten years after the first ST-Sound creation, here
is the ST-Sound library with sample project, all under GPL license.
The code is not as clean as I hope but no time to change it. Don't
forget almost all that stuff was written in 1995 :-)</font></p>

library package comes with four main directories.:</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"><b>StSoundLibrary</b></font></p>
<blockquote>
<p><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">This
is the most important directory. Portable ( I hope !! :-)) C++
code to play YM files into your own production. There is a simple
"C like" user API, and you just need to include "StSoundLibrary.h"
to work with YM files. See tutorial projects for details. Theorically
should compile under windows, linux, etc.</font></p>

<p><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"><b>YmToWav</b></font></p>
<blockquote>
<p><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Tutorial
code. Portable ( I hope !! :-)) code to render an YM file into
a WAV file. Works in command line. theorically should compile

<p><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Tutorial

browsing the whole world wide web ! :-)</font></p>

<p><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">The
package is done to work very nicely with Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0
( Visual .NET is pure bullshit! )</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">For
Visual C++ 6.0 users: Load StSoundGPL.dsw file into your lovely
IDE and just build one of the tutorial sample or the main library.
Everything should work like a charm without pain.</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">For
other users ( .NET, Linux, Gameboy color or other strange system),
just search in your head some very, very oldschool knowledge and
build a nice makefile :-) ( should be easy for StSoundLibrary) </font></p>
