MMAudio Pak & Audio codecs (APE I/O Procs)

PREAMBLE This package contains the MP3 support module (MMIOProc) from Russell O'Conner's MMAudioPak. The MMIOProc includes updates and fixes by Gregg Young. Since eComStation (v1.2 and later) already includes the Ogg Vorbis and FLAC support modules, eCS users generally only require the MP3 module. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS First, unpack the files in this package to a temporary directory (if you have not already done so). If you already have MP3 installed after backing up your current mmioMP3.dll simply copy mmioMP3.dll from this package to bootdrive:\MMOS2\dll. Unlock and overwrite the current mmioMP3.dll as needed. If you need to revert simply copy your backed-up copy of mmioMP3.dll over the new one. if it is not already installed there are two ways to install this support: Quick Install, which runs from the command line, and Graphical Install, which provides a graphical interface. Of the two, Quick Install is simpler and is recommended. Quick Install: * Run the included INSTALL.CMD * Press 'Y' when prompted for confirmation. * You should receive a message that the installation completed successfully. Shut down and reboot the system. Graphical Install: * Run the program 'Multimedia Application Install' from the Install/Remove folder (normally located under Local System on your desktop). Alternatively, run the command 'minstall' from a command line. * When the install wizard appears, choose 'Next'. * Select 'Add a MultiMedia Feature' and then choose 'Next'. * Select 'Install a feature from another location' and then choose 'Next'. * Enter the path to where you placed the files in this package and then choose 'Next'. * The Guided Procedures install program will begin. Follow the prompts in order to install the MMIOMP3 module. * Reboot the system when prompted to do so. You can delete this package and its files from their temporary directory once the installation is complete.
