Might it not be a good idea to fix the digestifier to filter out any 
submissions containing the Digest header text?
i.e.

	Well, this is not possible since I did not write the program and
there is no current way of doing it since the digest program just takes the
input file and change it to the output file and then sends it out so that's
the reason for it so unless you or someone else happen to know how to write
a hack or whatever to Dave DeBry's mailserv program, then there is no way 
around it until the Majordomo server is updated on the server machine since
life is never perfect, don't expect the list to be either since I am a full
time student and finals are coming up.

If any such 'suspect' entries were forwarded to the digest admin, then
that would identify any 'rogue' subscriptions quickly, without bothering
everyone on the list.


	There are no such things as suspect entries because some people
simply would type anything for the subject and send it in and some people
would type nothing for the subject header but I for one am unable to be
able to edit the digest until it goes out since I have classes in the
morning.

Subject: GUS Max and Soundscape

In an attempt to expand and simply my system, I'm looking at dumping
my old GUS (with its 1Meg of memory, but no 16 bit sampling or MIDI
in/out).  At my local Computer City store, I see the GUS MAX and the
Ensoniq Soundscape priced at the same $199.  The Soundscape
has "2 Meg" of internal sounds and an undisclosed (on the box)
amount of sample memory.  The Gus Max has 512k of memory
and my old memory won't transfer.  From this brief bit of info, looks
like the Soundscape is a much better deal.  Any opinions?

I just wanted to say that I've bought and received the Power Patch
CD-ROM, and it's a solid set of alternate patches for the GUS all on CD.
(However, I wouldn't go throwing away those ProPats...  :-).  As an
extra added bonus, it sets up Patch Banks for you that you can use with
Power Chords Pro (or Power Chords Debut, it looks like), and any other
sequencer software that uses patch banks.  Watch out, though, if you've
already set up custom banks.  It will replace your ultrasnd.ini with a
modified version.  It will keep your old one around, but it *WON'T* copy
what you've changed into the new ultrasnd.ini file.

I like the latin percussion sounds, and the drum loop patches are a
great way to jam (especially if you're not a natural born drummer :-).

One of the best things about this CD is that is shows you how to exploit
the patch banks.  It's almost worth it just for that reason!

I have no affiliation with Howling Dog Systems, other than that I've
talked with Eric on the phone, and he lets me swipe a bass riff now and
then :-).
