new emxp software project...
2006-04-18 by esynthesist
Hi all, Just a message to let you know that I'm (still :-) working on a new EMXP version. The new version will contain a lot more features than the current one: - reading banks from and writing banks to ZIP disks directly: this is the most important new feature I think. No special driver will be needed and both ZIP 100 and ZIP 250 disks will be supported. - converting EMAX-I banks <--> EMAX-II banks - converting EMAX samples <--> WAV (= current WAV2EMAX feature + part of the EMAXLIB feature) - quick view of the contents of any EMAX image or any EMAX floppy disk or ZIP disk (i.e. without having to create a full EMX image first and without having to create HTML reports with EMAXLIB) Of course the current EMXP features will still be supported (reading/writing/formatting floppies). And I will probably also put the HTML report generator of EMAXLIB into EMXP. The software is not ready yet, but the current version on my PC contains a rough implementation of all above features and it all seems to work... I don't know when the test version will be released, I guess within the next one or two months. O by the way, the user interface will still be DOS-based (but more user friendly, with menus and selection lists). When I release the final version, the source code will be published also so someone else can write a Windows GUI for it :-). And someone else will have to port the code to Mac of Linux, because I don't have these systems at home. ///E-Synthesist.
