Currently I have it spawning a synthd and talking to it, but sometimes it doesn't clean up after itself, and the concurrent usage of libsynth by multiple programs is not working. Also I need to hack dosemu to use it, I am testing it only with wolf3d for the moment. -- Ryan Underwood, , icq=10317253
