                  Sound Support in DOS - The Goldware Sound API


     The DOS and 386 versions of GoldED support sound via sound cards by
     calling functions in the Goldware Sound API.

     The  Goldware  Sound  API  is  a  set  of  functions provided by an
     interrupt  service  function  installed  on the Alternate Multiplex
     Interrupt (AMI) 2Dh.  For full details  on the Alternate  Multiplex
     Interrupt, please see  Ralf Brown's Interrupt  List (INTER46*.ZIP),
     his  AMI  specification  (ALTMPX35.ZIP)  and/or  his  AMIS  library
     (AMISL091.ZIP).

     I have implemented  a program loader  which provides the  interrupt
     service function with the  Goldware Sound API. The  current version
     of the program loader  is named GCTVSAPI 1.00  and may be found  in
     the archive GCTV100.ZIP. The current version of GCTVSAPI loads  the
     Creative Labs  CT-VOICE.DRV file  for playing  of .VOC  files. Full
     public  domain  C++  source  code   and  the  Goldware  Sound   API
     specification is included in the archive.

     I  hope  that  others  will  write  program  loaders  or TSR's that
     implement the  Goldware Sound  API for  other sound  cards than the
     Sound Blasters,  or even  an implementation  that does  not require
     CT-VOICE.DRV.

     If you have written a Goldware Sound API implementation, please let
     me know,  so that  I and  the reg.sites  can make  it available for
     other users.
