SUMMARY: WinAHX is a player for AHX-songs created with AHX 1.x/2.x
         on Amiga. It has the same look & feel like "Midas '95" released in 1997
         by Abyss.

FEATURES: > 100% accurate playback of all AHX 1.x/2.x tunes
          > quality approved by Pink & Dexter, the AHX creators
          > 100% C++ code, thus easily portable
          > very low CPU usage (<4% on P200)
          > Player available for use in own productions
          > Small & intuitive user interface
          > Coded by Bartman/Abyss
          > It's free! It's small! (exe-file only ~110kb, no .dll files needed)
          > The best AHX tunes available are included with this release!

REQUIREMENTS: > win95/win98/nt 4.0
              > windows-compatible soundcard

INSTALLATION: > unzip the .ZIP file into the desired directory
              > drag a link onto the desktop or into the start-menu
              > files required in directory: WinAHX.exe

HINTS: > if you're looking for the menus, open the system menu (where 
         the window minimize/maximum is in) there are menus for
         'Options...' and 'About...'
       > The 'i' button opens the module info window, whose position
         and size is also saved (like the main window).

FUTURE IMPROVEMENTS: > scope
                     > "pinkapolation" (more sophisticated oversampling)

PORTS: We're searching for skilled coders that like to port the AHX Player 
       (pure C++) to different OSs: BeOS, MacOS, Unix (Linux, HP-UX, SunOS), 
       Java, or any other platform capable of playing PCM sound
       (PDAs not excluded)

       Note that we won't accept porting the player to Delphi

       We're also interested in coders writing plug-ins for various players 
       esp. DirectShow and WinAmp

       If you're interested, please write to Bartman at barto@gmx.net
       and include some references of your skill...

SOURCE CODE: The AHX-Player source is strictly confidential. Only coders 
             of a port will get the source, if you just want to add capability
             of playing "AHX tunes in your application, intro or demo
             download the SDK from our homepage, it includes the necessary docs,
             link-library (Visual C++) and sample sources.
