1. Installation

a) Unzip the package into any directory.
b) If the USLGENIO.SYS driver [USL Generic I/O Driver (c) Vadim Rumyantsev] is
   not installed then install it by adding somewhere in CONFIG.SYS a line like
         DEVICE=PATH\USLGENIO.SYS
   (where PATH is a path to the directory containing the unpacked package) and
   reboot OS/2.
c) Run 724inst.cmd to create the WPS folder and the program object.

2. Overview

   724mix is a simple mixer with  a textmode interface for  YMF724-based sound
cards.  It  also supports  YMF724-compatible chips  such as YMF740, YMF744 and
YMF754. This mixer works in aggressive mode only - sets are  constantly resent
to a hardware audio codec of  the sound card. You can choose the delay between
sendings  by changing 'Resend delay'  parameter  in sets of  724mix.  A bigger
delay  provide  a  lower  cpu  usage, but may way to longer periods of a wrong
sound level. The default delay is 100 msecs.
   724mix  can  switch some AC'97 compatible features such as 'Mono to Stereo'
(Simulated Stereo), 'Bass Boost' (Loudness), '3D Mode' (3D Stereo Enhancement)
in  case  if  an  audio  codec  of the sound card supports this features. Else
messages  'Not supported by the CODEC'  or 'No 3D Stereo Enhancement'  will be
written.
