LOL - I sense the subtle hint!  It should have already reached you by
the time you read this...

I sent the source for the last release (27/2/01), and you can always
upgrade when the the current source settles down a bit.

What sort of things were they?  I think some of the features you'd added
to the DOS version (compressed image support, etc.) had already gone
into the Win32 version by the time you'd mentioned them.  It's possible
some others were overlooked at the time because there were lots of other
fundamental things to add/enhance instead.

Features like the input recording still seem a bit specialised to add to
the core code, as they aren't strictly emulated features.  Perhaps there
could be some conditional hook points in the code that would allow the
compilation of special versions with added functionality?  What does
everyone else think/want?

While we're playing pass the source - could you please e-mail me the
0.801 source? :-)

I'll have to give it another go to try and find out more about the
problem.  It changed my screen mode and I got some garbage on the
display in that mode, then it crashed in the background.  It wouldn't
return to the desktop to allow me to see what was going on, and in my
attempts to get out I pressed Esc which put me in the VC debugger (I
only found this out after blindly getting to the Start Menu to shut
down).

I wondered whether it could be your 'hardware timer' code causing the
trouble - sounds like the sort of direct access stuff that wouldn't be
NT-compatible.  Do you think it could?

I keep meaning to change SimCoupe so it dynamically loads SAASound.dll,
for the same reason, tho since it's only been released to people on the
list I've not felt it's been essential yet.  There are a dozen or so
exported functions so it won't be a 2 minute job...
