Subject: Good config files for GUSDELAY

	Probably most of you have been fooling around with that cool program 
GUSDELAY and all think you're rock stars by now. :)  Would some of you 
mind sharing with us some of your config files, a description of each, 
and the settings it's supposed to go with?  (I found that you need to 
re-do a lot of the settings when you up the sampling rate and thigns like 
that)

Subject: ScreamTracker 3.01

Several people have asked me where ScreamTracker 3.01 is, and have not
been able to find it on epas or orst.  It's on epas now, I just uploaded
it.

Some experimentation solved this problem.  16 bit samples must be loaded
already in unsigned format.  Ultra seems to have a problem reversing the
sign once they are loaded.  I pre-converted them to unsigned, 16 bit, and
they now play just fine in Ultra.  It really CAN handle 16 bit, 44Khz. 
One of my samples is 253K in size.  256K seems to be the limit (makes
sense).
