This file contains important and latest information of Developer 
Kit for Sound Blaster Series.


1.  Disk Organization

Developer Kit for Sound Blaster Series (SBK) diskettes are 
organized into the following subdirectories:

     \DRIVER     :  contains various drivers 
     \C          :  include files, libraries and example programs 
                    for Microsoft C and Turbo C      
     \BASIC      :  include files, libraries, quick libraries and 
                    example programs for QuickBasic and Basic PDS 
                    7.1
     \TPASCAL    :  include  files, Turbo Pascal Unit  (TPU)  and 
                    example programs for Turbo Pascal 6

In the subdirectory \C, files are further organized into 
subdirectories as follow:

     \INCLUDE    :  include files for Microsoft C and Turbo C
     \LIB        :  libraries for Microsoft C and Turbo C
     \MSC        :  example programs for Microsoft C
     \TC         :  example programs for Turbo C

The C example programs are organized into subdirectories under 
\MSC and \TC as follow:  

     \CDAUDIO    :  example for CD audio 
     \EFFECT     :  example for fade and pan effect
     \GENERAL    :  general examples
     \INCLUDE    :  loaddrv.c include file
     \MIDI       :  examples for MIDI I/O
     \MUSIC      :  examples for FM music
     \SPEECH     :  examples for Text-to-Speech
     \VOICE      :  examples for voice I/O

In the subdirectory \BASIC, files are further organized into 
subdirectories as follow:

     \CDAUDIO    :  example for CD audio 
     \EFFECT     :  example for fade and pan effect
     \GENERAL    :  general examples
     \INCLUDE    :  include files
     \LIB        :  libraries and quick Libraries
     \MIDI       :  examples for MIDI I/O
     \MUSIC      :  examples for FM music
     \SPEECH     :  examples for Text-to-Speech
     \VOICE      :  examples for voice I/O

In  the subdirectory \TPASCAL, files are further  organized  into 
subdirectories as follow:

     \CDAUDIO    :  example for CD audio 
     \EFFECT     :  example for fade and pan effect
     \GENERAL    :  general examples
     \MIDI       :  examples for MIDI I/O
     \MUSIC      :  examples for FM music
     \SPEECH     :  examples for Text-to-Speech
     \VOICE      :  examples for voice I/O
     \UNIT       :  include files and TPU

For the two BASIC languages, if you are compiled within the 
integrated environment, you have to use QBSBC.QLB and QB7SBC.QLB 
for QuickBasic and Basic PDS 7.1 respectively. If you are 
compiled and linked from the DOS command line, the libraries to 
be used are then QBSBC.LIB and QB7SBC.LIB respectively.

The voice and music files, DEMO.VOC, DEMO1.VOC and FFARES.CMF 
used in the  Basic, C and Turbo Pascal example programs are 
located in the root directory.


 
2.  Drivers

Developer Kit for Sound Blaster Series covers the whole series of 
Sound Blaster audio cards' programming. Each of the card has it 
respective  drivers. These drivers are located in the \DRIVER 
directory and distinguished by the file name and extension. They 
are included in the SBK distribution disks for your  development. 
You do not have to include them with you product. We will 
distribute the drivers to our users through our large distribution 
network.  

The drivers in the \DRIVER directory are not the actual name used. 
You have to copy them to their target path and name before you can
use them. Remember to use the correct drivers for the respective 
card. 


Table below shows the cards' drivers and their target path and 
name:

   Cards       Drivers        Target Path and Name
   -----       -------        --------------------
1. SB          SB15.CTV       \SB\DRV\CT-VOICE.DRV
               SB15.CTD       \SB\DRV\CTVDSK.DRV
               SB15.SFM       \SB\SBFMDRV.COM
               SB15.AUX       \SB\DRV\AUXDRV.DRV

               SBPRO.AUX      \SBPRO\DRV\AUXDRV.DRV


All the Sound Blaster audio cards are using the same Text-to-
Speech SBTALKER.EXE driver found on the \DRIVER directory.
