This is the history of NED PLAYER development:
##############################################

v3.1 - March 8 1998 (ATARI COMPUTING version)
=============================================
- added AIFF format (APPLE, ATARI)
- added IFF format (Amiga)
- for the first time used patch for mSTe with FPU M68882
- better timing (direct from disk)
- some bugs from v3.0 removed


v3.0 - March 26 1998
====================
- new loading, depacking and diagnostic routines
  (more memory effective up to 50%)
- new informatory window
- added HSN sound format
- direct from disk playing
- killing bug in SW MODE removed
- new shareware fee

(v2.A FALCON ALFA)

v2.A - 19.10.1997
=================
- DVS delta packed data decoding routine
- DVI/IMA ADPCM decoding bug fixed
- if it don't have enough memory for loading whole file, it will play
  a part only (you shouldn't see NO MEMORY alert).

v2.9 - 11.9.1997
================
- small optimize in MS ADPCM routine (it is still C routine)
- while MS ADPCM or DVI ADPCM file is decoding you can stop this
  process by CONTROL-C (window must be opened)
- fixed bug in DVS recognizing (none standard frequency should be now OK)
- small GEM change (mouse form and correct window events when ADPCM 
  file is decoding)
- new AV functions (AV_PROTOKOLL, AV_EXIT, AV_SENDKEY, AV_ACCWINDOPEN, 
  AV_ACCWINDCLOSED, VA_DRAGACCWIND)

v2.8 - 26.8.1997
================
There has been made many changes in this version:
- Microsoft ADPCM decoding routine for WAV files. Source code of it
  originally comes from Microsoft, so it is so slow :)
- DVI ADPCM decoding routine. It is using for depack 4 bits mono
  files only (not 3 or 2 bits). There is also a stupid bug. I can't
  find it. I will have to ask someone for help.
- A-law for SND/AU
- Fast RAM support for data
- Some others changes in code that I can't remaind.  
  
v2.7 - 12.8.1997
================
Now it supports mu-law (WAV and SND/AU) and A-law (WAV) file formats.
I have also fixed silly bug in converting routine from 16 to 8 bits.

v2.6 - 21.7.1997
================
SW MODE is now available in stereo. I also made small change in
VA_START routine.

v2.5 - 21.2.1997
================
Ned Player now use file N_PLAYER.INF. You can set in this file 
playonce as default. This file is also used for registrating.

v2.4 - 10.2.1997
================
This is the first shareware version. Now Ned Player recognize 16 bits 
files and automatically it will convert into standard 8 bits sound 
format. I have also modified WAV file recognizing.

v2.3 - 21.12.1996
=================
AVR sound file format has been added.

v2.2 - 22.11.1996
=================
In this version I have added VA_START protocol. I find it very useful 
with programs such as Thing, LZH shell, CAB and many others. I think 
this is the best way how you can listen sounds from Internet via CAB.

v2.1 - 20.10.1996
=================
Some bugs has been fixed. Now you can also use keyboard commands and  
run Ned Player with shell parameters. 

v2.0 - 7.9.1996
===============
SW MODE added. It means that you can change smooth frequency from 6 to 
25 kHz (in mono). Now it also automatically recognize some sounds 
formats (SAM, DVS, SND, AU, WAV). NED Player now use two different RSC 
files. One for small resolutions such as 320x200 and 640x200. And 
another one is for all others. 

v1.0 - 16.7.1996
================
The first version I have done. It doesn't recognize any file format. 
It can play samples at standard STE hardware rates.
