Subject

Restructure and revision of Advanced Signal Processor codes for 
compression/decompression operation.

Description

The compression and decompression algorithms of the Advanced Signal Processor 
has been restructured and revised to be more robust and compact to optimize 
the compression and decompression operations.  This revision will result in 
ealier version of compressed wave files being not compatible with the new 
Advanced Signal Processor codes.

Solution/Action

A set of new Advanced Signal Processor codes has been put up in the BBS of 
Creative Technology for all distributors and users to update their ADVANCED 
SIGNAL PROCESSOR codes (files found in the SB16\ASP directory).  A DOS 
utility, WCONV.EXE is provided to allow user to convert their current wave 
files to the new format so that it can be played correctly.

The following will help users/distributors to locate the file in the BBS:

File Name	:	NEWASP.EXE
File Size	:	34987 bytes
Location	:	Main conference & Distributor Common File area

Remark

All distributors and users are strongly encouraged to download the new 
ADVANCED SIGNAL PROCESSOR codes from the BBS.  Users who have DISK.ID code 
SB16-STD-01 Revision 4 and ealier will have to update their existing 
compressed wave files and ADVANCED SIGNAL PROCESSOR codes.

The DISK.ID file can be found in every SB16 installation disks.
Wave files that are not compressed will not be affected.
