Thanks

About the DPX->EII. That's a tricky one... DPX doesn't have its own 
soundbankformat. It simply takes the original format (S900, P2000/2, 
EII or Mirage) and changes it a little bit before writing it to 
it's "own format".
So to be able to convert any DPX disk to EII, I need the specs of all 
supported DPX samplerformats. The S900 and EII I have, but I don't 
have the Mirage and P2000/2 specs (yet ? :-).
Anyway, it's easy to recognize on any DPX disk what the original 
format was, so it's definitely quite easy to make a DPX->EII tool for 
both EII and S950 'DPX' disks.

By the way: the next version of OmniFlop will also support DPX 
correctly (now it contains a major bug). This means that one of the 
next versions of EMXP will also support DPX directly, incl. 
writing/readin the disks. EMXP uses OmniFlop as its default floppy 
access driver, as opposed to DPXTOOLS which relies on Simon Owen's 
great FDRAWCMD driver.
Maybe I will then include the DPX-> translation in my EMXP 
translation engine. The advantage of putting it in EMXP instead of 
using separate tools like DPXTOOLS is that all EMXP supported 
samplerformats would immediately become candidate for conversion 
to/from DPX.

The bad news is that I really don't have enough time anymore to work 
on these things, the next months my agenda is completely filled with 
other things, both personal and job related. So my EMXP/DPX project 
is put on hold (again) for a few months. That's why I had to speed up 
the release of v205 and why I hope this v205 is quite stable :-)
