Hey guys. So much to respond to. Thats a really good thing though.

Not a problem. We all have rough times here and there. I hope you will find some work in the new year.Originally Posted by wilbur989
Well there is indeed a work-around, I believe, for this issue as to my understanding we can use ifdefs and other code to determine what chip is in use. ie. X86 or Pentium it'll use a speedier Intel/AMD optimized set of functions, etc However if the MacOS's Pascal compiler doesn't support in-line ASM then we are out of luck. But if OpenAL can take advantage of multi-channel audio mixing using hardware optimization then we should be in the green. Though we could always branch off and have some sort of way to switch on/off the X86(in-line ASM) support.Originally Posted by noeska
I do have some experience with ASM along with some digital electronics experience(if that counts for anything here ), but I may be a bit rusty. We'll see if it's a usefull skill.
Definately MOD(all common types), S3M(Scream Tracker 3), XM(Fast Tracker) and IT(Impulse Tracker, the best MOD format to date). Of course we can add others, but these are the basics, I think.Originally Posted by wilbur989
CVS; I'll have to look into this a bit. I have never used one of these systems and have not a clue how it works. If you could give me a small primer, I'd be truely greatful. Any software that would help in the process(Win32/Linux cross-platform would be best since I'm moving to Linux in Jan 2004) that you could recommend, that'd help too.
