Version 0.22 / 04.28.1996
__________________________
First 'Multimdia' Version: MPEG Player plays sounds (only WAV, RAW, AIFF and
Unix Sound at the moment).
It now knows when a file is a MPEG Audio File but does not play it for the moment...;

Bug corrected for redraw of ended MPeg Sequence Windows not closed.
Bug detected if BSoundFile class. Nothing to know if sample is signed or not. I tried
to play a 8 bit AIFF signed sample, and it didn't work well... when PlaySOund play it very well.
I corrected it in my procedure to unsigned it.. then it works... but unsigned sample don(t work anymore.


Version 0.21 / 04.25.1996
__________________________
Bug Correction:
	with the new Video Option Box from Version 0.20, selecting BE DITHERING and
	SOFT DITHERONG together whas authorize. It should not. Corrected in version 0.21. So,
	the dithering choice change from Check Box to Radio Button.
	
	


Version 0.20 / 04.20.1996
__________________________

- First Official Public Version


Improvements
	Video Options Window smaller and easier
	Option Menu
	Change Language Option in this Menu.
		Real Time Option in all window. I'm very proud of this, even if everything has not been translated and if there are only two languages.
	Much more stable (inform me if it crash. How does it crash ?)
	Option Windows close when movie Windows close
	Quit APP only when all Window are closed , or when Quit is selected.
	
	
	
	
	
Forcomming Improvments
	
Improvment of ExtSoundFile. Be Media Kit is only able to play sample at
some sampling rate. When the sampling rate of your Sound is not one those rate, 
the sound is not well played. The new ExtSoundFile will allow you to
resample automaticaly your sound from the recording rate to one of
the rate allowed by Be sound System, in real time, when playing sound..
 So, your sound well be good played.

	Real Time Info Window
	MPEG Video CD read.
	Use of Log Window
	
	and much More... I hope.
